It sounds like your main concern is that you are printing on paper for a single use and it gets tossed?

Good question, since that's what I do as well. I am a coach, so print out a copy of the workout for each lane, and it gets stuck to a kickboard as you describe.

So you got me to thinking, and I did a little searching. It looks like there are some companies that make smaller 'lap sized' dry erase boards.

example at amazon, a set of 10 dimensions 12"x9"

Maybe somebody sells individual. I'd check Staples as well.

Write out the workout in dry erase marker and maybe pop one of those in a ziploc, prop it up on the deck somehow.

I also thought of a tablet - I have an iPad, for example, but it seems risky to put that so close to the water. I use a tablet for coaching, and am fine walking on deck with it, but would be nervous leaving it unattended and so close to the edge, even in a ziploc.

A cheaper electronic option could be a child's doodle toy. eg: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00N9WIB8E/ref=s9_acsd_top_hd_bw_b7MGky3_c_x_w?pf_rd_m=A1IM4EOPHS76S7&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-10&pf_rd_r=E4R7FGFXB3DY38EFTGR4&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=b54ca7e4-f0fa-5aa8-9cf2-6e989ebe8ac7&pf_rd_i=6742003011

Hi :)

I have a couple friends that work at DOE. One has various toys and games all over his desk.

When I worked in a cube farm, I knew if I was bored then everyone around me was bored too.

One day I pushed my tall filing cabinet to the edge of my cube. Kept nerf guns, candy, various toys, etch a sketch, etc. Every day there would be new messages on the etch a sketch, toys moved into silly positions, mini nerf games etc. By doing this made things less stressful for my coworkers and myself. As luck would have it, everyone else did they same with their cube.

Etch-a-Sketch

Thought this would be awesome to have in an office environment. Display all the current cool toys.

Start a Funko Pop collection. Would totally suggest these. :)
Bunch of friends collect these and display them at work.

Hope this helps, and work becomes less stressful for him. Thank you for being such a thoughtful person. hugs
