Swim Terminology
NOTE: For additional information about swim data fields, see the owner's manual (Getting the Owner's Manual).
•A length is one trip down the pool.
•An interval is made up of one or more lengths. When you select to rest, you create an interval.
•A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the device completes a full cycle.
•Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one length and the number of strokes for that length. For example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of 45. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and, like golf, a lower score is better.
Stroke Types
Stroke types appear when you are viewing interval history. You can also select stroke type as a custom data field. To customize your data fields, see the owner's manual (Getting the Owner's Manual).

BACK | Backstroke |
BRST | Breaststroke |
FLY | Butterfly |
MIXED | More than one stroke type in an interval |
