Creating Pool Swim workout

Former Member over 10 years ago

When asked "Workout Type" on the pulldown menu, I'm not being given the option for Pool Swim (only running and cycling). Why?
If I select "Other", it only allows me to enter distances in miles. Why? I want to do 100yd intervals, so I want the ability to define distance in yards and not miles.
If you know how to do this, please assist. Also, is there any way to set or change intervals on the watch without first downloading the workout from Garmin Connect?
And why are there no training plans for SWIMMING?!

They have been a long time not coming - I'm very disappointed that Garmin have created watches supposedly for the swimming market but without full support/commitment for the features needed - which device have you got

BUMP

Was searching for this exact topic and was happy to find these messages - and sad to see that there have been no replies/solutions/updates in the months since.

I have the 920XT, and I too purchased a Garmin product thinking that it would help with my swim training. To not have either pre-made swim workouts NOR the ability to create them is pretty unacceptable. I have created some custom workouts converting from yards to miles, but this is a pretty poor workaround for such a high-end product; and I'm pretty sure the software doesn't even understand that the intervals I created are for swimming.

If anyone from Garmin is reading this, could you please give us an update as to whether you will eventually roll out this feature?

Otherwise, I really love the product.

Thanks!
