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.
Swim Auto Rest and Manual Rest
The auto rest feature is available only for pool swimming. Your watch automatically detects when you are resting, and the rest screen appears. If you rest for more than 15 seconds, the watch automatically creates a rest interval. When you resume swimming, the watch automatically starts a new swim interval.
To use manual rests instead, you can turn off the auto rest feature in the activity options (Activities and App Settings). During a pool or open water swim activity, you can manually mark a rest interval by pressing
. Swim data is not recorded during a rest interval.
