SportCount Lap Counter and Timer for Swimming
The SportCount Lap Counter and Timer ring is a wearable swim lap counter. It remembers which lap you are on for you, so you can focus on your technique or relax and think about whatever you want. If you are keeping track of your laps in your head, you need this lap counter to keep an accurate count so you can focus on your workout. Counts up to 9,999 laps.
- ENJOY YOUR WORKOUT WITHOUT WORRY – Ever find yourself losing track of what lap you are on? This tally lap counter helps you keep track without breaking stride, so you are free to think about something other than what lap you are on.
- HUNDREDS OF SPORT USES – While this waterproof hand held counter is most often used for counting swim laps, it is also great for walking, running, counting golf strokes, baseball pitches, etc.
- COUNT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING – You can use the Lap Counter to count anything: attendance, inventory, customers, microbes under a microscope, etc.
- EASY TO USE – Tracking laps using just one large button makes counting foolproof and easy, and leaves your hands free to do other things
- KEY PERFORMANCE DATA – It also times your laps and provides real time speed data and workout summary statistics: total cumulative time, fastest, slowest, and average lap times.
- NOT JUST FOR SWIMMING – This waterproof lap counter and timer is also a great for runners, cyclists, coaches, umpires, and many sport and non-sport activities.
- ERGONOMIC DESIGN – One hand operation does not interfere with your workout technique which makes this digital counter biomechanically better than a sports watch or tally counter.

I have owned several of these. The first two stopped working after a couple of months but the one I have now has been going strong for about 9 months. I originally wrote a poor review because I tried to resolve the purchase of the bad ones with the seller rather than the manufacturer. After my original review, the company, SportCounter contacted me directly and offered a free replacement. I don’t know of too many companies who go out of their way to contact the purchaser to help resolve a problem. Generally, it is the other way around. I like the product and would highly recommend it.

My review is for the product only – not service or price. It counts my laps accurately and without any problems. I have used it for over 50 trips to the pool, 40 laps each time, since I got the counter. This device is not attractive but it is easy to use. I would probably buy another one if I lost it.That said, it is way overpriced at $30 for what you get. This is less substantial than the cheapest digital watch. The only alternatives I could find were at swim gear shops and are much more sophisticated and tend to be watches with lap counters added on. They run in price from $50 to a couple of hundred dollars.

I had surgery on my arm several months ago and couldn’t even walk because of the rotator cuff hurting so bad. Decided to join a indoor walking track to get back in shape. Found this counter and what a surprise!!! Adjustable to fit on any finger and not to big nor bulky. Each time you need to add a lap you press the black button on bottom –works great!! To clear memory hold the button 3-4 seconds and you start from zero again. It shuts itself off when your not using it so they thought of everything. I throw it in my purse so I can use it when needed. Totally happy with the little gadget and highly recommend as convenient and not bulky.

Simplicity is a virtue when doing a lot of laps. this counter allowed me to keep track long after my mind had gone foggy on what lap I was on. I am a distance swimmer using a half Olympic pool for winter training. This device makes it possible to keep track without losing focus on breathing, stroke and the like. I had been using a more sophisticated version with lap timer and other features. That was nice for a while then the need went away as had very consistent readings. the simpler unit is enough now.

This is just what I was looking for! An easy to use lap counter for when I swim. The neoprene band has a number of size options, so it is easy to fit to any index finger. Position it so you can tap the button with your thumb each time you make a turn.The LCD screen is fairly easy to read, even in the water.My only suggestion for improvement would be more tactile feedback for the button press.Update: I have been using this now for 7 months, on average 3 days per week. It has become as natural in my swimming routine as my goggles and bathing suit. It has always performed flawlessly and never fails me. If it ever dies, I will order a new one.

Six months ago, we purchased a home with an indoor lap pool. We determined that 55 laps equals a half mile, and I have been swimming a half mile every day for the last 6 months. The problem with swimming 55 laps is that you have to count to 55 while you’re swimming, practicing mindfulness, and meditating on a certain level. Countless times (no pun intended) I lost count. I thought to myself that there must be some type of counting device that is waterproof, and I found this wonderful lap tracker. I used it for the first time today, and it allowed me to focus on the things that are most important — and not counting. I have small hands, and I was concerned that the counter would be too large. But it is flexible and adjustable and perfect!

works great when swimming laps, however the one I received went dead after 2 months…dead battery. Company wants $14.95 to change out the battery plus you have to ship it back to them, etc. They also say the battery should last a year but obviously mine didn’t. You can replace the watch type battery yourself they say but the device is small, has 4 small screws and they warn you about an O ring that must be replaced exactly or the device is no longer water proof. Not happy with this aspect of the device otherwise I’d recommend it. Manufacturer replaced my original one…but that one died now after 3 months! What is wrong with this counter that it dies out so quickly? Highly priced for not lasting and not being able to change the battery I would not recommend.

I bought my fourth lap counter from this company in April. The first lasted 15 months, the second, 10 months, and third and fourth ones in 9 months. In the first two, the battery died. For the third one strange numbers showing up and then it died. For this fourth one, the lap button has become increasingly erratic so that I have to push really hard with a thumbnail. This I’m sorry to say I think there’s a trend there and I am disappointed that they are not lasting the 12 months listed by the company.While they are working properly, I am satisfied with the product. They work well in the water. As others have noted, you have to firmly push the button to get the lap to register (there’s a certain feel to a successful push). In a lane where the light is relatively low, it can be hard to see the numbers. Backlighting would be nice or an LCD display with greater clarity.Overall the unit works as advertised. I find the lap-only one best for my use. With the added timer, the lap count only shows up for a few seconds and then the display goes back to time.If there were another manufacturer, I would try it. Unfortunately, this is the only one out there so I’m stuck using it.
