Forgot to mention the other thing I'm doing -- keeping track of distance. I've learned that 81 laps (across and back is 1 lap) = a mile. So I do 2 laps with the shells, then 2 laps with the barbells, and alternate; when I work with the kickboard I do it in 2-lap increments also. That makes it easier for me to remember how far I've gone when I'm in the moment. I generally have little trouble in going a furlong (1/8 mile) and have gone 1/5 mile (16 laps) a couple of times. If I'm just using the shells and ignoring the barbells and going for speed, I can do 20 laps but that gets pretty tiring and too easy to lose count.
