    Recording continues during a pause?

    I have used the app on three occasions and have found it works well.

    My only issue with it is that recording continues even when the activity is paused. If I press pause, I am taking a break and don't want the pause time recorded.
  • hi,
    this is a garmin connect issue. during pauses, i set the intensity level to "rest". the idea behind, is that the recording continues, and you can see how you are recovering (for instance, by checking your heart rate).

    in 3rd party sites which support FIT2 format, the rest intervals are properly shown, see:
    https://danipindado.github.io/images/intensity.png

    In the next version i will add two connectiq fields showing the total active time and total rest time so that they are shown garmin connect

    Very good app and very hard work to develope it.

    I only can say thank you.


    Maybe the forum is for other issues, but it is also necessary to recognize the great work you have done.

    Great App

    Hi, I have just tried the app last week and it works great. Only I would suggest if you could please add more pools sizes. My pool has only 20m or if there are too many possible sizes an option to introduce the size manually.

    Hi
    Check the user guide. It is described there how to customize the pool length.

    Just downloaded this and am pleased with the stroke count. I was just wondering if the new version was released that shows only active time to get an accurate time/distance? Thanks for developing!
