Swim Data Fields

I was wondering if swimming Data Fields are planned to be added? Such as:

  • lap count
  • lap interval
  • rest interval
  • current stroke
  • current stroke rate
  • Sorry, after reading the docs a bit more, I'll clarify my question some more.

    I see that on Toybox::Activity::Info you can get information about some of this. I presume this is what you access for the current live activity info.

    Is there currently a way of looking at lap information? E.g. which one and whether in a rest period or not?

    We are in the process of evaluating which Swim metrics are needed at this time. Our goal is to provide all the metrics that are used by the native fields in a way that is easy to use with ConnectIQ Data fields.

    That's really great to hear. Thanks Brian.

    From reading through the docs and looking at the app types, I can see that swimming (particularly pool swimming) is a little more complicated. Presumably to be able to guide the user in some way through their swim, I'd need to create an app which would mean starting the fit file recording as part of the logic there. I guess I would need to prompt for the pool length as part of that as that's normally taken care of via the watch interface. That pool length would then need to be one of the parameters supplied when starting the fit recording?

    Anyway, great to hear swimming is not being forgotten!:D
