It would be great if it was added the possibility to set pool size as Infinite as there as Infinite pools and static/tethered swimming belts.
This is something I think would take 3 seconds for the programmers to add.
Tks.

Were you able to record distance with GPS off? I have tried, but did not work with my Forerunner 935. Maybe it only work with a newer model.
This is a question from 2 years ago, but I would like to know if the Swim 2 can record distance with GPS off.
A Fenix 6 Pro could do that fairly accurately, but due to software updates it now records only half the distance. So I am looking for another device to use for swimming with GPS off and not in a pool of fixed size.
It’s tricky and will only be an approximation:
1) disable gps
2) set pool size to 70meters (this is what I play with to get near my real pace.
3) set timer to 3 min and fake a wall turn when the timer beeps
I have fiddled around with pool size and got approximately real values….but really we should start a crowd sourcing project to create a device that would work with stroke rates (a bit like a podometer works). This would work in pool, endless pools and open water.
Yes - the Swim 2 can record open water swim distance with the GPS off. I've been using it that way for months and it's pretty accurate. I just got a Forerunner 255 and it can NOT do this. Distance is always 0 on the 255 with gps off. When I contacted support about it they said no Garmin watch should be able to track open water distance with GPS off. So fingers crossed the Swim 2 continues to be able to do it and that they don't "update" the software and change the behavior.
