temporary swimming line in community pool

Most of the time I swim in a community pool which has sufficient length but lacks a line on the bottom to keep me swimming straight. Fortunately I am usually the only person there and have some freedom for what I can do, so I have tried laying rocks but they are usually difficult to see unless I lay a large amount which is tedious to do each time. I researched pool lights and most of them float and/or have crazy patterns. I just want a simple light which I can affix to the bottom of the pool quickly, and then remove when I am done. I prefer battery power as I am not too keen on putting a live power cord inside the pool. Does anyone know of such a light, or any other solutions? Thanks.

  • Geochuck has a great idea - they still use these flat plastic things on the bottom of the pool for lifeguards to do rescue searches with. Alternatively, you could find some thick twill strapping "tape" like you would use to strap something on to the top of your car with, and secure (temporarily) to the bottom of the pool with a few bricks or rocks to keep it from floating away - plus it would be an actual "line" to swim along. Usually comes in about 5-6cm widths.
