Is it possible to have separate HR zones for swim?

Currently the settings menu enables me to select dirrerent HR training method for bike and run, but not for swim.

I can input swim FTP, but I am not sure If it is calculating my load according to swim FTP or not (apparantly it seems to use my HR, let me know if I’m wrong). An option to select HR load method could be fantastic (like running biking).

My swimming HR appears to be lower than in running and cycling, and


according to articles like this I may not be alone.

I have lowered my HR zone in my garmin watch, but in intervals.icu only overall HR training zone, and running HR training zone could be defined, and no option to put seperate HR for swim. If it’s possible to put seperate HR zone for swim, it would be great.

Yes Intervals.icu will use HR data for load if possible and only use swim FTP if not. I have added separate HR zones for swims to the todo list. Not too hard to do. Currently bike zones are used for cycling and running for everything else.
