SWIMMING METRICS (POOL SWIMMING)
Swimming metrics help you analyze each swimming session, and follow your performance and progress in the long run. The metrics record your swim distance, time and pace, stroke rate, and also identify your swimming style. In addition, with the help of the SWOLF score you can improve your swimming technique.
To get the most accurate information, make sure your have set which hand you wear V800 on. This can be set in V800 General Settings.
Swimming metrics are only available in the Pool swimming profile. To get the Pool swimming profile you must have at least 1.2 firmware on your V800.
SWIMMING STYLES
V800 recognizes your swimming style, and calculates style specific metrics as well as totals for your whole session.
Styles V800 recognizes:
•Freestyle
•Backstroke
•Breaststroke
•Butterfly
PACE AND DISTANCE
The pace and distance measurements are based on pool length, therefore to get accurate data always make sure you have set the correct pool length. V800 recognizes when you turn, and uses this information to give you accurate pace and distance.
STROKES
V800 tells you how many strokes you take in a minute or per pool length. This information can be used to find out more about your swimming technique, rhythm and timing.
SWOLF
SWOLF (short for swimming and golf) is an indirect measure of efficiency. SWOLF is calculated by adding together your time and the amount of strokes it takes you to swim a pool length. For instance, 30 seconds and 10 strokes to swim the length of a pool will equal a SWOLF score of 40. Generally, the lower your SWOLF is for a certain distance and style, the more efficient you are.
