Tips for Swimming Activities
• Press BACK 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 UP, 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 BACK to record a rest during pool swimming
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

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.
