Viewing Your Ski Runs
Your device records the details of each skiing or snowboarding
run using the auto run feature. This feature is turned on by

Swimming
NOTICE
The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with
the device may damage the product and will void the warranty.
NOTE: The device cannot record wrist heart rate data while
swimming.
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.
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 when you are viewing interval history. You can also
select stroke type as a custom data field (Customizing the Data
Screens, page 23).
Free Freestyle
Back Backstroke
Breast Breaststroke
