Each sport mode has a unique set of displays and views. You can
read more about each mode in Suunto Movescount under your
watch settings. You can also shorten the list of modes in your watch
through Movescount.
3.26.1 Swimming
You can use your Suunto Spartan Sport for swimming in pools or
openwater.
When you use a pool swimming sport mode, the watch relies on the
pool length to determine distance. You can change the pool length
as needed under the sport mode options before you start swimming
Openwater swimming relies on GPS to calculate distance. Because
GPS signals do not travel under water, the watch needs to come out
of the water periodically, such as with the freestyle stroke, to get a
GPS fix.
These are challenging conditions for GPS, so it is important that you
have a strong GPS signal before you jump in the water. To ensure
good GPS, you should:
Sync your watch with Movescount before you go swimming to
•
optimize your GPS with the latest satellite orbit data.
After you select an openwater swimming sport mode and a GPS
•
signal is acquired, wait at least three minutes before starting
your swim. This gives the GPS time to establish strong
positioning.
