Swimming
The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba
diving with the device may damage the product and
will void the warranty.
NOTE: The device cannot record heart rate data while
swimming.
Swim Terminology
Length: One trip down the pool.
Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new
interval starts after a rest.
Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm
wearing the device completes a full cycle.
Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for
one pool length and the number of strokes for
that length. For example, 30 seconds plus 15
strokes equals a swolf score of 45. For open water
swimming, swolf is calculated over 25 meters. Swolf
is a measurement of swimming efficiency and, like
golf, a lower score is better.
Stroke Types
Stroke type identification is available only for pool
swimming. Your stroke type is identified at the end of
a length. Stroke types appear when you are viewing
interval history. You can also select stroke type as a
custom data field
