Open water swimming... average pace

had a Garmin 735 and had it set up to give me an average pace every 100 meters in the open water. I now have a Fenix 6 and all it does is vibrate every 100 meters. It doesn't give me an average pace for that distance. It's not worth having an alarm if it doesn't give me what I'd like. Is there any way I can add the average pace to show every 100 meters too? I've been looking at different things on the watch and can't find anything

Set an autolap for 100m. All an alert does is alert.

It sounds like you just need to configure your data screens and data fields in the Open Water app settings. The data fields you are likely looking for are ‘Average Pace’ (so average pace for total activity so far) and ‘Last Lap Pace’ (average pace for the last lap, so sounds like you have auto lap set for 100 metres) and then ‘Lap Pace’ (average pace for the current lap so far). You can also go in to the ‘Auto Lap’ settings in Open Water and configure the ‘Lap Alert’ to show the info you want to see when one of your 100m auto laps vibrate (Sounds like you want to configure ‘Lap Pace’ in one of the ‘Field’ options in the lap alert).
