Pool workouts not supported on Venu SQ?

Former Member

HI,

I got my Venu SQ mainly to swim and to do yoga. I created the pool swim workouts in Garmin Connect to be transferred to my Venu SQ, but when click on the icon to transfer the worktout, the VenuSQ appears in the list of "NOT COMPATIBLE",  does it mean that the pool workouts can't be transferred?    It's weird because Yoga and Running workouts can be transferred. 

Please help!  DisappointedDisappointedDisappointedDisappointed Disappointed 

  • Hello! The pool work outs are not able to be transferred. You are correct in the running and Yoga can be transferred.

    Thanks for the quick answer.  That's really sad... I bought it mainly for swimming and yoga.. Is there any possibility in the future in any update that this feature is enabled?

    Could you please let me know which Garmin models are compatible with this feature for pool swim, yoga and hiking?

  • I’m confused, there is a pool swim workout on the watch where you can pick the pool size and a couple of data fields where you can pick timer, distance, pace, heart rate, length field, swolf fields, stroke and temperature fields.  You can also copy the pool swim workout so you have a couple of different workouts.

    Hi CindiL,  The pool swim workout you mentioned were created by you and then transferred to the VenuSQ? 

  • No, I see it on the watch when I go to exercises.  Press A button where you see your default favorite exercises, scroll down and press the four little colored dots and then you’ll see all the available exercises for you.  Tap on pool swim and press the slight arrow at the bottom, then settings, from there you will see data screens, pool size, alerts and auto rest (on/off).  There is one there for yoga too with data screens you can edit.

    Yes, I also see that info.. Which is bad is that isn't not possible to create the workouts in the Garmin Connect app and transfer them to the Venu SQ.  :( 

  • Why do you need to transfer?  What are you trying to do that you can’t do with the pool swim exercise on the watch?
