Anybody have any ideas on how to do this? Is there anything out there I can buy commercially that will allow me to do this? I don't want to put it in a baggie and have to deal with wet baggies. I'm thinking coated paper and a grease pencil sort of thing...

PS I also finally found my swim groove. I used to have to stop after 100 yards and catch my breath and let my HR come down, but last week I had an epiphany I guess and found my groove! I went for 30 minutes non-stop and today was on a roll for 45 minutes. I felt great!
You could try using a small whiteboard some even come with little legs so you could have it standing at the end of your lane and only have to glance at it when you swim down for the turn. Im talking small here about the size of a magazine (you can normally find them at toy stores). A couple of ladies I use to swim with in Aust used this and it seemed to work well for them.
