I hate swimming, but my girlfriend loves it. I want to encourage her to go swimming more regularly so she feels even radder about herself. She's got a birthday coming up and has talked about building up to do the channel challenge(?) We're in Southwark so get free weekend swimming. I'm thinking something equivalent to my cycling Garmin 500 so she can do some basic tracking of her progress both in and out of the pool and see herself improve/show off to me when she's getting better. Can anyone recommend a starter swim watch tracker thing (closer to the £50 mark than the £100 mark, second hand will do) that got them going swimming a bit more regularly? Or maybe there's something else that helps motivate more when swimming? Preferably nothing novelty and plasticky that’s just a waste of planet destroying materials - hence second hand is good.
