Well, I received my finger lap counter the other day and used it yesterday and will be using if for swimming from now on. I hate to count when I could be thinking of other things while I swim. I lose track all the time. Anyway, the little counter is cool. It tells you how fast you swim each lap, time per lap and total time. It is great for me anyway.
Just thought I would mention it. There are two types. One is just a counter and the more expensive one does all the above. I bought the more expensive one.

Has anyone seen any of these gizmos that count strokes too?

Curt, what brand/model did you get? Sorry if I missed it earlier in the thread.

Yeh that's what I was looking for. With the Nike and Polar disatance and speed monitors available I was wondering if something using that technology was available for swimming. The idea that it counts strokes by creating completing a circuit seems an easier approach though. The "Foot Pods" of Nike and Polar work on accel, decel. I'm even wondering if it would be possible to adapt that to swimming as each individuals stroke is much different than each individuals running gait. Also many more vectors are applied during swimming than in running. None the less I was interested because I have a hard time counting whilst swimming. Difficult to really concentrate on an aspect of your stroke and keep track of how many strokes you took. Combine that with "what lap am I on?" and "when did I start that last 100?" and I'm screwed. Have you seen anyone come out with anything similar to Speedo stroke monitor?
I got the more expensive one. Used it today and still my felling is great. It lets me concentrate on more important things. I am reading the book Total Immersion and feel it is a great book. It helped me cut time already and I only read the first 4 chapters.
Enjoy, Curt
