Help with Swim Metrics

No thats something I still need to fix. I need to figure out how to specify pool size. Will look at that now.

I have implemented support for setting the pool length for Garmin devices. You need to add a line like this:

Pool length: 25y

Supports y, yards, m and meters.

I tried a swim yesterday with the new pool length: 25 yd and not sure it worked right. I created a ladder interval (attached) which looked good except the total length wasn’t right. When I swam, each interval length was a weird non whole yard length like it was still converting to meters but showing in yards. Also the speed of the intervals is given in pace per mile rather than pace per 100 yrds which might just be a garmin thing. Any ideas?

Hi David,

The swims recorded on my garmin FR245 are recorded using manual lap presses, but the work/recovery intervals do not seem to be detected. Reprocessing or analysing (detect intervals) do not seem to change this. Do you need more information to understand what might go wrong here? I am willing to help on this one.

Thanks a lot! I am getting to know intervals.icu and definitely will donate if i see it can suit my needs, which is highly likely.

Hmm. I am going to have to try some experiments with my wife’s Garmin on the weekend. The Garmin docs are unclear.

The issue is that your swim has lots of HR data so Intervals.icu uses the HR interval finder which doesn’t handle swim lengths. I have changed things so that swims will prefer the pace interval finder and now it works. I will deploy the fix Thursday AM (GMT+2). Tx for the report.

Hi, I’m not sure if there was ever any resolution on meters to yards. I added Pool length: 25y to my workout, but I still see each segment in meters in Garmin. In the picture below, “yd” now shows up, but the number is still in meters.

Thanks for all your help!

I’m currently trying to achieve a pace of 1:50 per 100 meters. However, right now I’m swimming at this pace using this tool in triathlon mode​Easy Swim Pace Calculator & Pacing Data: Meters / Yards. I’m wondering if my goal is realistic if I want to reach it in 3 months.
