I hate counting laps if I am trying to swim a mile. This thing fits on your finger and you can just tap it each time you finish a lap.

Do you swim in races or just exercise/recreation?

I strongly disagree with "Leaving it all in the pool". Please don't.

Swimming with a snorkel at times is helpful

I use a snorkel and do a mile freestyle straight, 1-2 times a week

Man, three day a week of swimming is a lot. Don't burn out too quickly.
