Swimming style detection

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi there,

I would like to ask if there is an easy way to detect the swimming style, not by implementing the whole algorithm, but by calling a method. Is there a way? For example, Fenix2 and Fenix3 support swimming style detection. Is it possible the developer to have access to this info, or he must implement his own gesture recognition algorithm?

Many thanks,
John

The Garmin ConnectIQ API doesn't provide access to data from the accelerometer at all. There is currently a field of Activity.Info named swimStrokeType, which would ideally provide the information you seek. Unfortunately that member is documented to always be null, so you can't use it to do anything.
