Calibrating the Treadmill Distance
To record more accurate distances for your treadmill runs, you can calibrate the treadmill distance after you run
at least 1.5 km (1 mi.) on a treadmill. If you use different treadmills, you can manually calibrate the treadmill
distance on each treadmill or after each run.
1 Start a treadmill activity (Starting an Activity, page 8).
2 Run on the treadmill until your watch records at least 1.5 km (1 mi.).
3 After you finish the activity, press GPS to stop the activity timer.
4 Select an option:
• To calibrate the treadmill distance the first time, select Save.
The device prompts you to complete the treadmill calibration.
• To manually calibrate the treadmill distance after the first-time calibration, select Calibrate & Save > .
5 Check the treadmill display for the distance traveled, and enter the distance on your watch.
Swimming
NOTICE
The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with the device may damage the product and will
void the warranty.
NOTE: The watch has wrist-based heart rate enabled for swim activities.
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 device 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.
Stroke Types
Stroke type identification is available only for pool swimming. Your stroke type is identified at the end of a
length. Stroke types appear in your swimming history and in your Garmin Connect account. You can also select
stroke type as a custom data field (Customizing the Data Screens, page 25).
