iiM Rules for Accuracy
While swimming with iiM there are a few rules
to follow. These will be important in making
sure iiM functions correctly.
1)
Push Off Strong
– On each wall, push off
and streamline for at least 2 seconds.
2)
Finish Strong
– Even if you aren’t finishing
with your Swimsense
®
arm, it is important
to have a good finish into the wall so that
the time can be accurate. Just like a
coach, the Swimsense
®
is now timing your
intervals, so you better not finish short!
3)
Be Still Between Intervals
– After a few
seconds of non-swimming, the screen will
automatically pause and invert when you
are resting. However, you should try and
stay as still as possible so that excess
motion isn’t confused for swimming. A
suggestion would be to put your
Swimsense
®
hand or wrist on the wall to
hold it still.
4)
Have At Least 3-5 Seconds Rest Between
Intervals –
The Swimsense
®
needs this
time of stillness between intervals to know
that you have stopped swimming.
Otherwise it will think you are just doing a
very slow turn.
