Measure temperature?

Hi Out There- apologies if this should attach to another thread, but I am wondering what people use to measure temperature in their preferred bodies of water. I have used suunto, timex, and alterra watches over the years and it is an ongoing challenge to find something reliable and somewhat accurate - I had have 2 aquarium-type thermometers die in the last month, by the way, so clearly I am not getting the right ones! Thoughts? Thanks!

I used to have an aquarium thermometer, until I left it in the car on a warm day. The Toemometer won't explode in a hot car.
It's always a bad hair day when you work at a pool.
I've had a few thermometers like the ones linked and have found the quality on them to be poor.
Aquatic Park has 3, ( THREE) thermometers in various places in the cove.
On any one day, we will come up w THREE ( 3!!) different temperatures over the course of one swim of about 25 min. Since we can't change the temp, I'd go w the "toemometer'

That looks like the meat thermometer I use when barbecuing meat. When do you stick it in? At the start of the swim, or do you use it to decide when it's time to get out?
