• A 

length

 is one trip down the pool.

• An 

interval

 is made up of one or more lengths. When you 

select   to rest, you create an interval.

• A 

stroke

 is counted every time your arm wearing the device 

completes a full cycle.

• Your 

swolf

 score is the sum of the time for one length and 

the number of strokes for that length. For example, 30 

seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of 45. Swolf is 

a measurement of swimming efficiency and, like golf, a lower 

score is better.

Stroke Types

Stroke types appear when you are viewing interval history. You 

can also select stroke type as a custom data field. To customize 

your data fields, see the owner's manual (

page 3

).
