Hello! Is it possible to add the option Intervals on swimming Mode? I cant do that. Imagine I want to swim 4x100meters with 1min of rest.

Thank you!

There are no dedicated intervals for swimming, but you can use those available in SuuntoApp by selecting the sport type: “standard”. It works.

@Artus-Diver thank you.
As “standard” I’m assuming that you mean the “non specific sport activy” in my watch. That Mode has intervals indeed, but doesnt have the pool Lengh to choose, so it will not measure de distance I swim…

I think it should be something im doing wrong because I assume that interval training in swimming is kind of normal… 4x200… 5x100… Etc.
I Just Wonder how can I do that with my watch guiding me

Yes, use “non specific sport activity” and everything will be ok.
You can set automatic distance of 100m or initiate end of 100m with button.
Pause time can also be selected automatically or set interesting time (for example: 1 min)
Example attached.

@Artus-Diver thanks for your reply man!

But the watch doesn’t count me the pools that way…
Without the pool lenght it doesn’t know Joe many meters I swim… theres no GPS underwater

So, doesnt work…

I’ve been using intervals in swimming for years and it works great.
You set the pool length in the “pool swimming” activity.
Intervals is in SuuntoPlus and it’s an add-on to the main activity.

Create an interval workout.
Sync the watch with the app.
Select the “Pool swimming” activity.
Add the interval workout to the “Pool swimming” activity.
Start swimming. Scroll through the screens if necessary.

The watch doesn’t use GPS, only accelerometers to detect pool length and swimming styles.

You can use intervals manually or automatically.

You can create your own interval screens according to your needs.
