Size of Swimmingpool is annoying

axbl over 5 years ago

Until now I have done over 50 km swimming in a pool of 10 meters.

I set set Pool size to 20 metres and after training I manually correckt the distance..

The recognation of my Garmin Watches works very well.

I have done with Fenix 3, Fenix 5S, Forerunner 935, Forerunner 945.

But until now it s still not possible to set the Pool size to 10 meters.

Please please Garmin change set allowed settings !!!

I cant build a larger Pool ;-))

Pool Size minimum was 17m - but is now 14m - has been for about 8-9 months across the higher end watches (Fenix 5/F5+) etc.

How many strokes do you get in a 10m pool? With kicking off from the walls even with my crappy swimming I'd be lucky to get more than a couple of strokes in. Besides AFAIK, the minimum size pool has been around 17m for a looooong while. And I really cannot see the point of making it any smaller. It's just not 'swimming' in a pool that size.

I understand that a pool shorter than 17 meters in length might produce unreliable results but it would be nice to have at least the option to choose a shorter length.

I can't make my pool larger.... but Garmin is able to lower pool size in the app !

Thanks for the correction :-) 14m or 15yds on the 945 too.
