Speed And Distance From The Wrist; Swimming Metrics; Pool Swimming - Polar Electro IGNITE User Manual

SPEED AND DISTANCE FROM THE WRIST

Your watch measures speed and distance from your wrist movements with a built-in accelerometer. This feature
comes in handy when running indoors or in places with limited GPS signals. For maximum accuracy make sure you've
set your handedness and height correctly. Speed and distance from the wrist works best when running at a pace that
is natural and feels comfortable for you.
Wear your watch snugly on your wrist to avoid any shaking. To get consistent readings it should always be worn on
the same position on your wrist. Avoid wearing any other devices like watches, activity trackers or phone armbands on
the same arm. In addition, do not hold anything in the same hand like a map or a phone.
Speed and distance from the wrist is available in the following running type sports: Walking, Running, Jogging, Road
running, Trail running, Treadmill running, Track and field running and Ultra running. To see speed and distance during
a training session, make sure you have speed and distance added to the training view of the sport profile you use
when running. This can be done in Sport Profiles in the Polar Flow mobile app or in the Flow web service.

POOL SWIMMING

When using the Swimming or Pool swimming profile, the watch records your swim distance, time and pace, stroke rate,
rest times and also identifies your swimming style. In addition, with the help of the SWOLF score you can keep track of
your development.
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. Your watch recognizes when you turn, and uses this
information to give you accurate pace and distance.
Strokes: Your watch 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.
Swimming Styles: Your watch recognizes your swimming style, and calculates style specific metrics as well as totals
for your whole session. Styles the watch recognizes:
Freestyle

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
