Open Water / Endless Pool Swim App

Former Member over 9 years ago

Would be nice to have a swim app that used stroke length to calculate swimming distance without GPS or counting laps. This could be used for open water swimming as well as for Endless pool swimming. An option that would be useful for Endless pools would be the ability to set (and remember in future swims) the pace as mm:ss per 100 yds or Meters.

I think we need Endless Pools to add a Bluetooth or ANT radio to ther swim controller which outputs the flow rate or pace. Garmin would pair to it as any other sensor.

Perfectly stated! This would be an easy ‘add on’ for Garmin to provide.
