Getting back to swimming. Use to do Masters, no longer available. Didn't need to count laps before, now I do and can't seem to keep track. Thought of taking flat sidded marbles, then thought wouldn't be able to remember which pile was which. Any suggestions?

Have any of you all ever used that little ring? Would like a review of it if you have used it. It seems it would be a lot more natural to just press the lap count button with your thumb... with a watch you have to use your other hand (come out of streamline) I'm afraid it will come off and with my luck it will be in the deep 12 foot end of my pool.
Okay one of you engineers on this site, develop a 'personal' touch pad to hang at the end of the lane, one that runs on 'solar' energy like the little calculators do and of course give me part of the profit for coming up with the idea. Make it simple... On/of and reset buttons display 1) # of laps 2) total time. I can't abide gadgets where pushing a button once gets you one function, pushing it twice gets you another function, pushing and holding it gets another function etc... I'm old and can't remember how many pushes gets what, if my memory was that good I'd count laps myself. Of course if you want to make it fancier, have a button for each function.
