The ones that I’ve seen with stroke conters are fairly expensive. The swimovate mentioned above seems like the best value, although amazon did have the finis swim sense cheaper last week. The advantage of the swim sense is that it will record your strokes per length for every length of a session, whereas the swimovate will only give you an average ‘strokes per length’ for the entire session.

I haven’t used any of the yet though and just use a trusty old stopwatch on my watch.

You can get much less expensive lap counters, but they don’t count your strokes.

Yes, the Garmin 910XT is on my Xmas list – I can live in hope!

Much more basic than what you’re after, for now anyway. All I need is a timer that will work well in the pool and in open water, ideally with a length and stroke counter as well. And something accurate! Seeing as you’ve obviously done your research, have you got any recommendations?

I’m assuming that this watch is already on your Christmas list!
