my swimming track in the swimming pool doesnt work at all!!!!!

I need help

  • Explain what you mean please so we can try to help. This is to general a comment.

    You get no track in a pool , no GPS is on for Pool Swim

  • yes, when I swim in a 50mt pool instead of tracking (for instance) 3km it tracks 5 or more. It doesnt track at all the distance. I bought it only for swimming. :(

  • yes, it doesnt track my swimming distance in a swimming pool. I have adjusted all settings based on the lenght of the pool but it doesnt work

  • It is very important to focus on the turns and pushes. It relies on the movement only not any GPS.

    I assume the length is set correctly in your Swimming app at 50m?

    Have you compared the number of laps?

    If you "fiddle" during a lap (or hit soemthing like the lane divider) or move your arm whilst in rest , it can think its a new lap.

    Mine is accurate if my laps are correct and I push and rest with no messing.

    This is also a good site to look at and edit if necessary, for instance when strokes get messed up.

    I had to focus on my backstroke method , now it picks it up better.

    Look at the Garmin support page on Swimming not recording accurately for further tips.

  • yes i tried yesterday and it works!!!! thanksssss soooo much!!

  • Yeah- I cannot get through a single workout without my 965 dropping a few laps.  whereas, my FormSwim goggles nail it every time.  I have good flipturns and good pushoffs- however, I'm a lousy glider, and don't wait much time before I start taking a stroke again.  I've thought that is the reason, but even when i work really hard at that part... it still misses laps.  oh well.
