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 watch 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. Critical swim speed (CSS): Your CSS is the theoretical speed that you can maintain continuously without exhaustion. You can use your CSS to guide your training pace and monitor your improvement. 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 (Customizing the Data Screens, page 23). Free Freestyle Back Backstroke Breast Breaststroke Fly Butterfly Mixed More than one stroke type in an interval Drill Used with drill logging (Training with the Drill Log, page 11) Tips for Swimming Activities • Press LAP 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 MENU, 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 LAP to record a rest during pool swimming (Auto Rest and Manual Rest, page 11). 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 (Training with the Drill Log, page 11). Auto Rest and Manual Rest NOTE: Swim data is not recorded during a rest. To view other data screens, you can press UP or DOWN. The auto rest feature is available only for pool swimming. Your watch automatically detects when you are resting, and the rest screen appears. If you rest for more than 15 seconds, the watch automatically creates a rest interval. When you resume swimming, the watch automatically starts a new swim interval. You can turn on the auto rest feature in the activity options (Activities and App Settings, page 24). TIP: For best results using the auto rest feature, minimize your arm motions while resting. During a pool or open water swim activity, you can manually mark a rest interval by pressing LAP. Training with the Drill Log The drill log feature is available only for pool swimming. You can use the drill log feature to manually record kick sets, one-arm swimming, or any type of swimming that is not one of the four major strokes. 1 During your pool swim activity, press UP or DOWN to view the drill log screen. 2 Press LAP to start the drill timer. 3 After you complete a drill interval, press LAP. The drill timer stops, but the activity timer continues to record the entire swim session. 4 Select a distance for the completed drill. Distance increments are based on the pool size selected for the activity profile. 5 Select an option: • To start another drill interval, press LAP. • To start a swim interval, press UP or DOWN to return to the swim training screens. Multisport Triathletes, duathletes, and other multisport competitors can take advantage of the multisport activities, such as Triathlon or Swimrun. During a multisport activity, you can transition between activities and continue to view your total time. For example, you can switch from biking to running and view your total time for biking and running throughout the multisport activity. You can customize a multisport activity, or you can use the default triathlon activity set up for a standard triathlon. Activities and Apps 11
