Edit you Garmin Swim Data free online

HI,

I'm a Garmin Swim user and also a programmer. As many of you, I sometime have inaccuracies in my data. For me, it's mostly an extra lap now and then. It usually happens when swimming in a crowded lane, and I have to switch from freestyle to breaststroke to look for an opportunity to pass. As a result, distance, average speed, and maximum speed metrics will be affected. I used to wish I could just merge two lengths within Garmin Connect and get more accurate data. Since GC doesn't provide this feature (yet), I decided to make my own tool. It is working great for me, so I decided to add splitting length, changing stroke style and pool size, and added a web interface to it. It's free as long as hosting cost are reasonable. Feel free to try it and let me know what you think.

Garmin Communicator plugin is required and you'll have to be able to manually upload an activity file to Garmin Connect. I explain how to do it on the web site.

Hi,

HRM data should be maintained. Not sure why it is not working for you. I've sent you a private message with my email so you can send me your file. I'll have a look at it.

1st of all: perfect tool, thanks!
I have the same issue with loosing the HR data recorded by a fenix3HR with HRM-swim.

great tool, but today I tried a new pool and my Garmin seemed to really struggle. Twice it lumped 3 laps together, so obviously split won't work! Is there any way to split out the 3 lengths at all?

Hi,

You cannot split by 3, but there is a workaround that works most of the time. If you have a length that should be split by 3, merge that length with the length before or after. You will get a length that should be split by 4. Then you can use split twice.

Hope this helps.

Amazing Tool! Thank you so much. There's no value in collecting all this data if it's not accurate and it's unfortunate garmin didn't provide a way to clean up collection errors out of the box. Tool worked great!

Great tool - thanks for making it available and further supporting. Use it on almost every swim workout of mine. It's really puzzling why Garmin keeps the editing function away from users.

You should consider adding a link to make donations possible. I think it's reasonable for the effort you put into making the so needed functionality available to the community, I would be personally happy to donate.

Hi, I am from Toronto. I have tolerated the occasional mistakes like more or less lengths with 735XT for over a year. Only until now that I find out this tool has been existing for years! It is so intuitive and easy to use. Thanks a lot!

BTW, do you plan to add oAuth app authorization so that on your app, the Garmin access can be remembered in cookie. Then the swimming activities can be opened from, edited and saved to GC directly? Currently I have to download zip from GC, upload to your app, edit and download as FIT, then delete and import on GC. Too many steps...

Thanks again!

I'm using this online tool as well since couple of years but still missing to add distance when you do so drills, missed captured by your watch... or forgeted to click by the user ;)
Is anybody has a solution for adding distance for the same overall time?
