Interval training for swimmers.

I am looking for a replacement for my 735xt. I currently use custom workouts but it looks like these are only possible with the run or cycle profile on the 165. Can I use the timer to set a repeating interval of, for example, 1m 45s and still log my speed, distance etc. in the swim profile?

Thanks.

  • I am curious of this myself...I can confirm "set" training with customizable workouts and customizable interval (not intervals) is there for running and biking. Nothing is there for Pool Swim, and I don't believe you'll be able to create them and add them since the menu options aren't there. I can't confirm, but I'm almost positive, you won't be able to do this for Pool Swim with the 165, which is kind of sad now that this is on other watches $250 and less. Also find it silly that the "Intervals" option only has one interval which you can customize. Anyone training knows you should have many multiple types of intervals...so if you have an interval, you have to chance it every time. Kind of lame, though I get the 165 is a dip you toe in the Garmin ecosystem device...but why not include a simple interval for swimming as well. Garmin Swim 2 is old

  • It is not possible to preload swim training in 165...
