Swimming ... Call for help!
-
Hi all,
Something seems to have changed recently (possibly after a firmware update) in how my pool swims are recorded. Drills are no longer logged as intervals with their own time, pace and stats — they’re just registered as individual 50 m pool lengths plus a total distance.I’d appreciate guidance on the correct button workflow for a typical structured session. Example training plan:
1,000 m warm-up
2 × 200 m medley (15 s rest)
2 × (200 m freestyle / 30 s rest / 100 m breathing drill)
4 × 100 m all-out freestyle (15 s rest)
3 × 100 m backstroke
3 × 100 m warm-down
For a session like this, what’s the recommended workflow?
Which button should I press at the end of each interval to log it correctly?
How should the rest time between intervals be handled — and which button(s) for that?
Should I be using the Lap function, Pause/Resume, or the built-in Interval training feature?
For context: I used to manage this with just Start and Pause (no lap presses), and it worked well — rest times were excluded and each drill appeared as its own segment. My Garmin handles this seamlessly, so I assume the Ocean can too — I just can’t find the right workflow.Any advice from those who’ve nailed structured pool sessions on the Ocean would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
