Swim Tips The Forerunner cannot record strokes or lengths during drill strokes or kick sets. Garmin recommends that you record drills as a separate swim interval using the LAP key. Similarly, use the LAP key to record rest intervals separately. This improves the accuracy of your swim data. If you do not use the LAP key for rest intervals or stop the timer, the Forerunner may take 7-8 seconds to display data for the last completed length. Using the Countdown Timer You can use the countdown timer to automatically start the Forerunner timer after a specified countdown. For example, you can use a 30-second countdown before you start a timed sprint. You can also set a 5-minute countdown before starting a boat race. During the countdown, history is not recorded. NOTE: The countdown timer is only available in "Other" sport mode. 1 Hold MODE > Other. 2 Select MODE > Settings > Other Settings > Countdown Timer. 3 Select Countdown Timer > On. 4 Enter the countdown time. 5 Select START to begin the countdown timer. You will hear 5 beeps before the timer starts automatically.
