Tips for Swimming Activities
• Press BACK to record an interval during open water swimming.
• Before starting a pool swimming activity, follow the on-screen instructions to select your pool size or enter a
custom size.
The watch measures and records distance by completed pool lengths. The pool size must be correct to
display accurate distance. The next time you start a pool swimming activity, the watch uses this pool size.
You can hold UP, select the activity settings, and select Pool Size to change the size.
• For accurate results, swim the entire pool length, and use one stroke type for the entire length. Pause the
activity timer when resting.
• Press BACK to record a rest during pool swimming (
Auto Rest and Manual Rest, page 9
).
The watch automatically records swim intervals and lengths for pool swimming.
• To help the watch count your lengths, use a strong push off the wall and glide before your first stroke.
• When doing drills, you must either pause the activity timer or use the drill logging feature (
).
