Instinct 2 solar - Pool swim laps without distance lost to a phantom rest interval

If pool lengths stats are sufficient, then have a look at them in Garmin Connect Web (not available on the phone app). They are available without any lap button pressing.

Alternatively, you can create a swimming Workout in advance, and the individual intervals will then be logged separately after reaching the predefined length of each set.

Thank you.  I would prefer to monitor interval time/pace as I go (I may have to go back to my Timex Ironman for pool workouts), but this is definitely useful.  Again, thank you for the answer.

BTW, I just tested it on my Instinct 2, and a quick double-pressing the lap button creates a new interval without any delay, and is in no way inconvenient, so I recommend giving it a try. Not much difference between a single press and the double press, once you get used to it. No need to wait 3s between the button presses.

I thought I had tried that but I will give it another try next pool workout.  Thank you.  This has been very helpful.  I hope you have a great day.

You can try it right now, in a dry test, then discarding the activity.

Of course...

I just did and it worked.  I am not sure what I did wrong the other day, maybe pressing too slowly, but I could not get it to work.  Today, I pressed the lap button in quick succession and it worked.  Thank you, again.
