Heart Rate While Swimming
The heart rate monitor records and stores your heart rate data while swimming. Heart rate data is not transmitted to paired Garmin® devices while the heart rate monitor is underwater.
You must start a timed activity on your paired
Garmin device to view stored heart rate data later. During rest intervals when out of the water, the heart rate monitor sends your average and maximum heart rate for the previous interval, and your real-time heart rate, to your
Garmin device.
NOTE:
To record heart rate data while swimming, your
HRM-Pro™ Plus accessory must be paired to your compatible
Garmin device using
ANT+®, rather than
Bluetooth® technology. Only some
Garmin devices support heart rate data while swimming.
Your Garmin device automatically uploads stored heart rate data when you save your timed swim activity. Your heart rate monitor must be out of the water, active, and within range of the device (3 m) while data is uploaded. Your heart rate data can be reviewed in the device history and on your Garmin Connect™ account.
