Swimming length counter

[EvianBaby]

Obviously the more I go swimming the more I can swim but I struggle to keep up with counting my lengths.

Has anyone used a length counter? They vary from about £20-£150. Are they worth it?

Evian, Just bought a mechanical manual counter on Ebay for £1-68. I too can't keep track of how many lengths. I'll pin it to me or leave it on the end and just click for each length.

Hadn't thought of Ebay, I'll have a look later. Thanks.

Do you find you actually remember to press it after each length?

Not got it yet but I used to have an elastic band on my fingers and I did remember to move it every 2 lengths until it fell off!
