Swimming pool laps is interesting.
My Forerunner has a field called "Int Pace". This is the pace of the latest swim (moving) interval. But it stays on ZERO until I hit the lap (rest) button. Makes sense since this is an internally calculated field by taking the total distance of the last swim interval and the time. The distance can change depending on how far you go between rests. Then it populates that field with the pace of the prior interval for the entire time you are resting. Great.
Does anyone know how it works with CIQ's "currentSpeed" in a data field? In my first experiment in the pool today, "currentSpeed" seemed to stay at ZERO.
The simulator isn't helpful. It generates a random pace for that metric during the swimming time, which isn't how it works on a device.
But in a real device, I don't know if "currentSpeed":
- simply doesn't work
- if it generates the value for just 1 second at the push of the lap/rest button
- if it keeps a static speed in "currentSpeed" during the rest interval that reflects the pace of the prior swimming lap?
I only get to the pool for cross training once a week, so I can build logic into my data field to figure this out next week. But someone here likely knows. Thanks!!
