Tips for Swimming Activities

custom size.

the activity settings, and select Pool Size to change the size.
• Press LAP to record a rest during pool swimming.
The device automatically records swim intervals and lengths for pool swimming.
• Press LAP to record an interval during open water swimming.
Resting During Pool Swimming
The default rest screen displays two rest timers. It also displays time and distance for the last completed
interval.
NOTE: Swim data is not recorded during a rest.
1 During your swim activity, press LAP to start a rest.
The rest screen appears.
2 During a rest, press UP or DOWN to view other data screens (optional).

Auto Rest
The auto rest feature is available only for pool swimming. Your device automatically detects when you are
resting, and the rest screen appears. If you rest for more than 15 seconds, the device 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 (Activities and App Settings, page 32).
TIP: For best results using the auto rest feature, minimize your arm motions while resting.
If you do not want to use the auto rest feature, you can select LAP to manually mark the beginning and end of
each rest interval.
