There are a variety of different swim lap counters available on the market. The more basic models work by requiring the person in the water to hit a button or turn a dial on the counter every time they complete a lap. Which is easier to remember to do than manually counting your laps yourself. However, more sophisticated lap counter models on the market make it even easier to count laps, requiring the swimmer to do nothing at all. These models work by tracking the distance that the swimmer has completed.

In this case, using an accurate lap counter or a wristwatch that has a lap counting function will make it much easier, simply requiring you to hit a button every time you complete a lap.
