Swim 2 newbie - how to track kick sets

DonniePut

I just received my Swim 2 yesterday and set it up as best as I could. It wasn't totally unfamiliar, since I have been using a Vivosmart HR for years. I gave it a try today with 2 400-yard kick sets in a 25 yard pool. Yes, I went out of my way to do a strong push-off after each length. Time and heart rate worked just fine. Distance and calories were ZERO. How does the Swim 2 determine pool swim distance? Is it able to track a kick set? Thanks much! Don P

    There is the drill option, use that for kick sets and drills. You have to count the laps, after you finish the drill set, you simply enter the distance.

    As kick sets do not include arm movement, there is no other possibility for the watch to recognize that you are swimming.

    PG, thanks for the info, but it's not what I was hoping to hear. I bought the Swim 2 to count my laps for me. My next test will be to do the front crawl for 200yds with a strong push--off. That should give me a better idea if I have things set up correctly.

    PROBLEM SOLVED. Recorded a freestyle set, and the distance and number of laps were correct
