I doubt you'll ever get an ANT+ signal to connect when in the water so it would be of little use.

Hi and thanks for the reply. However either I've not explained very well or you're off the mark.

The Garmin swim always ever sync via the PC using a Ant+ dongle. My question was how to get it to sync with mobile phones that have the Ant+ bluetooth built into it.

Thanks again.

The Garmin Connect app does not support ANT+ syncing, even if the required hardware is present. I think there is a 3rd party mobile app that can download activities from several ANT+-only watches.
