I have purchased a spanking new set of lap counting cards so that my workout group can help one another as we slog through the Checkoff Challenge. I purchased a holder for said cards. Here is the stupid question: How do I open the holder so that I may mount the cards on it?

If I don't lose count in a 500, I wasn't swimming hard enough. Some combination of oxygen deprivation and wishful thinking means I'm never 100% sure of the count in the last 150 yards or so.
Me too. And if I am trying to race the field instead of just focusing on swimming my own race, I lose track on a 200y/400m. Sometimes I can see a paceclock or the scoreboard while I'm swimming or during the turn. Better to lose a half-second on a distance event peeking at the clock than to lose count.
I quit swimming the 500 & longer at most meets just because it was too stressful getting somebody reliable to count. It was not fun being on the blocks with your counter nowhere to be seen.
