About Distance Recording

The Garmin Swim measures and records distance by 

completed lengths. The pool size must be correct to display 

accurate distance (

page 2

).

TIP: 

For accurate results, swim the entire length, and use one 

stroke type for the entire length. Pause the timer when resting.

TIP: 

To help the device count your lengths, use a strong push 

off the wall and glide before your first stroke.

TIP: 

When doing drills, you must either pause the timer or use 

the drill logging feature. For more information about the drill 

logging feature, see the owner's manual (

page 3

).

Your weekly (starting on Monday) total distance appears on the 

time page as 

DISTANCE THIS WEEK
