What's really frustrating is that you can't create your own plan, not without going through a convoluted route I described here: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?56500-Create-a-new-custom-training-plan/page5
And there is zero support for creating swimming plans.
Garmin may have some grandiose scheme for developing rich Training Plans in the future, perhaps when they work out the best way of supporting swimming, but for now the following two simple things would be a great start:
- Create your own training plan - this is sort of possible (see referenced post above) already but could be so much better with a little work from Garmin to make this easier and add a few essential bits, like custom duration of the plan, and naming it what you want. Having the ability to make them public too, so others could use them would be fantastic, and would really open this up.
- Add swimming support - just the ability to create a swimming workout that is shown on a watch would be a start (save taking bits of paper in plastic bags to the pool!)
