Setting a Swim Pace Alert

You can set a target pace for your pool swim. An alert notifies you each time you should turn at the pool wall. For example, if you set a pace target of 2 minutes per 100 m, with a pool length of 25 m, the alert will sound every 30 seconds.

NOTE: Pacing alerts require precise interval timing. For more accurate results when swimming with a pace alert, use the LAP key for rest intervals instead of the auto rest feature.
  1. From the watch face, select START > Pool Swim > Options > Alerts > Add New > Pacing.
  2. Set the units to meters or yards.
  3. Enter the time.

    The target pace time appears at the top of the screen.

  4. Select START.

    A screen appears indicating how frequently the pacing alert sounds based on the selected pool size.

  5. Select BACK twice to return to the timer page.
