NOTICE
The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with
the device may damage the product and will void the warranty.
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.
Critical swim speed (CSS): Your CSS is the theoretical speed
that you can maintain continuously without exhaustion. You
can use your CSS to guide your training pace and monitor
your improvement.
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 33).
Free Freestyle
Back Backstroke
Breast Breaststroke
Fly Butterfly
Mixed More than one stroke type in an interval

automatically creates a rest interval. When you resume
swimming, the device automatically starts a new swim interval.
You can turn on the auto rest feature in the activity options

arm motions while resting.
