Subject: Lap swim counter suggestions
I went looking online for something simple like a board with flipping numbers or similar for keeping track of how many laps I've swam(swum?), but the cheapest ones I could find were all $30+. I've heard the tricks about eating gummy bears, penny piles, etc., but was hoping to find something that like the numbers. Anyone have suggestions for something like this that's under $30? $30 seems a little steep for some plastic numbers on rings.

I just bought one on eBay for $15.  it's from Sport Count and is a little counter that wraps around your finger.  It's great, it records your laps and in the end gives fastest lap, slowest lap, and average lap.

I quit counting laps and go with saying in my head 50, 50, 50, 50, then 100, 100, 100, etc.

Hi!

Had the same problem so made a homemade contraption~

2 suction cups with a string end ties to each cup
On the string place anything that you can slide so you count your laps. I have little plastic turtles on mine. I put nine on a string this way I know when every 1/4 mile has passed. The suction cups are nice becasue I cansuction them to side of the pool.

Hope this helps!!
