Swim timer?

[sgf726]

I just use my Timex Ironman Watch, I use either the chrono or timer mode.

If I am just looking at rest intervals between sets I use the chrono mode.
It I want to do the sets in specific time I use the lap mode.
It has 100 lap counter and was only $40 at Target.

Oh yeah, the lycra would die a quick death in a chlorine pool. I swim in a saline pool, so it's not quite as bad. I forgot about that part!

I also used to use an inexpensive timex and that worked great until my eyesight got bad enough that I could no longer read the display. If you don't have old lady eyes like me, that would probably be your least expensive solution!

This sounds like a reasonable solution at a reasonable price. Thanks for the specifics of each mode- it's helpful.

A couple of fog tips: never ever touch the inside of your goggles. Immediately after you swim, rinse them thoroughly with cold water. In addition, some folks swear by cleaning them in baby shampoo, but I haven't tried that one. I've been lucky in terms of not having too many problems with fogging (I use Speedo Vanquisher 2.0s).

No advice on the timer, since I roll at turtle speed usually. ;-)
