lap counter

Counts completed circuits

A lap counter is a device or person that tracks the number of laps completed in a race or swimming workout.

In motorsports and track events, lap counters display how many circuits remain.

In pools, swimmers use small mechanical lap counters at the end of their lane: I lost count after fifty laps—should have used the lap counter.
