The electronic device counts the pool laps completed by recording the number of times the sensor detects physical contact with a side 32 of a swimming pool. Preferably the means 11 for wearing the sensor is a neoprene glove. The electronic device 14 may communicate with the sensor wirelessly and may communicate through wired or wireless means with an external device such as a computer 33. The swimmer may wear an earpiece 30 which is in wireless communication with the electronic device 14 to provide the swimmer with information regarding their performance. Preferably the device does not register a second activation of the pressure switch within 5 seconds of a first activation. This prevents double counting of lap ends.</p> |
