Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
How does the Swimsense capture and
calculate all the data?
A:
We built a 3-axis accelerometer and a
magnetometer sensor inside the watch to
record your movements. We then run the
data from these sensors through our
proprietary algorithms to recognize
strokes, turns, and other swim metrics.
Q:
Do I need to configure my Swimsense
®
?
A:
YES. In order to calculate accurate
swimming metrics, you should configure
your device before getting in the pool. See
page for 7 configuration details.
Q:
How do I record intervals and sets during
my swim workout?
A:
Use
iiM
or the
[PAUSE]
button to capture
intervals during your swim. iiM will
automatically infer when you stop
swimming, so no button presses are
needed. However if you want to be more
accurate, manually pressing the
[PAUSE]
button will also demarcate intervals.
Q:
What strokes can the Swimsense
®
support?
A:
The device recognizes and differentiates
between the four major strokes: Butterfly,
Backstroke, Breaststroke & Freestyle.
