Does anybody know of any 'tool' which swimmers can use for recording HR / swim times etc themselves poolside which still operates when wet? I am gradually getting mine to take responsibility for their own data but after a tough session memory is not what it could be and pencil and paper get saturated. I want them to be able to take it home and record in their log books, bring it back for next session, so I guess it also needs to be eraseable.

There are devices to do this.... on www.sportemotion.com they have one of those. It's a device that sticks to the wall under water wich you press every lane you make....I will find out what its called....... |

You can also use plexyglass and grease pencils. They work when wet and the boards can be cleaned after workout and re-used. |

Thanks, Chris. I might get the club to invest in some pencils and make up some boards but also use the clock to help me. |

we use dry erase boards and china markers..the swimmers record their own pulses, stroke counts, times, etc. and I just pick up the tablets after the set and record them in my book. The cheapest way to get more bang for your buck is to buy a big dry erase board at a home improvement store and cut them into small tablets...Good luck! |

Just to finish this off, we bought some acetate clipboards and china graph pencils. They work a treat. Thanks for all your help. |
