NOTICE

the device may damage the product and will void the warranty.
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. 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 in your swimming history and in your Garmin Connect
account. You can also select stroke type as a custom data field
