Are there any devices on the market for counting and displaying lap number as well as split or lap times? I'm new to the 'masters' swimming scene and I find there's so much going on inside my oxygen-starved brain that I often lose count in long sets 🙂
I was thinking of some inexpensive electro-optical device that you could attach to the lane lines a few feet out from the wall and the swimmer's body would break the light beam when it passed. The underwater display would be trickier - perhaps some low voltage LED/LCD or maybe we have to wait for E-paper to arrive. Maybe there is some sort of fibre-optic way of displaying the times - maybe too expensive.
there are counters that are human operated, but i doubt this is what you'd want

I use a 100-lap memory watch from Timex. I press the buttons while swimming - everytime I start a new lap pushing off the wall. I am not sure the watch's manual approves this use, but I have this watch for 2 years now without problems. I bought it because of the pool and it works.
