Lap Counter
I am looking for an underwater lap counter/timer. What are your suggestions? What features are most important to you? What has been your experiences with lap counters?

RE: Lap Counter
To be honest, I am trying to develop a new counter, something digital that can be seen well underwater, is easy to use (ie I don't have to stop mid stroke to tap, something that I could possibly do a turn off of), and that will keep track of all the info as I usually swim solo.

I am trying to get a feel for how a product like this would be received? What are some foreseeable problems? What do people who swim a lot more than I do want in a product like this?

RE: Lap Counter
I would love such a thing. I have a bad habit of losing count. O know nuttin about electronics but would some kind of waterproof/water compatible proximity sensor be feasible?

Yeah I just saw an article on bbc about some googles that use an electric compass to count your lengths, but they're conceptual or in development at best.

Thanks to all of you. I am really excited about starting this project, and I'll try to keep you in the loop. I've set up a survey online to just get a bit more market research which you can find at [URL="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SYHRM2P"]http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SYHRM2P[/URL] this link. Thanks for all your input it help'd out now and for a few new ideas concerning concept generation.

RE: Lap Counter
Wouldn't a water resistant watch do the trick there must be some specialized watches that record laps.
