Swimming metrics are only available in the Pool swimming profile. To get
the Pool swimming profile you must have at least 1.2 firmware on your V800.
Swimming Styles

well as totals for your whole session.
Styles V800 recognizes:
Freestyle

Backstroke

Breaststroke

Pace and Distance
The pace and distance measurements are based on pool length, therefore to
get accurate data always make sure you have set the correct pool length.
V800 recognizes when you turn, and uses this information to give you
accurate pace and distance.
Strokes
V800 tells you how many strokes you take in a minute or per pool length. This
information can be used to find out more about your swimming technique,
rhythm and timing.
Swolf
SWOLF (short for swimming and golf) is an indirect measure of efficiency.
SWOLF is calculated by adding together your time and the amount of strokes
it takes you to swim a pool length. For instance, 30 seconds and 10 strokes to
swim the length of a pool will equal a SWOLF score of 40. Generally, the lower
your SWOLF is for a certain distance and style, the more efficient you are.
