Hi,

I have a hydropool (lap pool) and swim in it every day. Next time I
drain it (once a year), I'd like to put a single black 2 inch wide black
stripe down the center of the pool bottom. This way I have something to
focus on so I stay in a straight line when I am swimming. I swim face down
with a mask and snorkel as I broke my neck a few years ago and find it hard
to turn my head for a breath. I have an auto striping guy that lives down
the street. He has done the registration numbers on my boat, waverunners,
and also made my business logo for my trucks etc..Never had any issues with
peeling.... Just wondering if that type of decal will withstand a
chlorinated (Brominated) pool ?....while I am at it on the same subject , I
am also looking for a clock I can suction cup to the bottom of the pool to
time my swims...anybody ever see something like this?... I have done the
google this before posting... thanks for any constructive replies... Jim

1. Just put a length of rope, held down by rocks or bricks, down the
center of the pool, no need to even drain it.
2. Wear a waterproof wrist watch with a start-stop timer.

Something like this maybe?

That Finis Company makes others too. Some were in the $300 range.
No idea how good they are.

Jim, you could also glue down a row of black tiles. About 13 cents apiec at
Home Depot.

I also do vinyl vehicle graphics and have never seen a spec for vinyl for
continuous underwater use. I think you need some sort of paint.

Also for you timer you need an under water lap timer. I've seen swiimers
with small timers with a small suction cup the attached directly to their
goggles.
