Calibrating the Treadmill Distance

To record more accurate distances for your treadmill runs, you

can calibrate the treadmill distance after you run at least 1.5 km

(1 mi.) on a treadmill. If you use different treadmills, you can

manually calibrate the treadmill distance on each treadmill or

after each run.

Start a treadmill activity (Starting an Activity, page 2), and run

at least 1.5 km (1 mi.) on the treadmill.

After you complete your run, select STOP.

Select an option:

• To calibrate the treadmill distance the first time, select

Save.

The device prompts you to complete the treadmill

calibration.

• To manually calibrate the treadmill distance after the first-

time calibration, select Calibrate & Save > Yes.

Check the treadmill display for the distance traveled, and

enter the distance on your device.

Swimming

NOTICE

The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with

the device may damage the product and will void the warranty.

Going for a Pool Swim

You can use the pool swim activity profile to record your swim

data, including distance, pace, stroke count, and stroke type.

Select START > Pool Swim.

The first time you select the pool swim activity profile, you

must select your pool size or enter a custom size.

Select START to start the timer.

Select BACK at the beginning and end of each rest period.

After you complete your activity, select START > Save.

Swim Terminology

Length: One trip down the pool.

Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts

after a rest.

Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the

device completes a full cycle.

Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool

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 type identification is available only for pool swimming.

Your stroke type is identified at the end of a length. Stroke types

appear when you are viewing interval history. You can also

select stroke type as a custom data field (Customizing the Data

Screens, page 22).

Free Freestyle

Back Backstroke

Breast Breaststroke

Fly Butterfly

Mixed More than one stroke type in an interval

Tips for Swimming Activities

• Before starting a pool swimming activity, follow the on-screen

instructions to select your pool size or enter a custom size.

The next time you start a pool swimming activity, the device

uses this pool size. You can hold UP, select the activity

settings, and select Pool Size to change the size.

• Select BACK to record a rest during pool swimming.

The device automatically records swim intervals and lengths

for pool swimming.

Resting During Pool Swimming

The default rest screen displays two rest timers. It also displays

time and distance for the last completed interval.

NOTE: Swim data is not recorded during a rest.

During your swim activity, select BACK to start a rest.

The display reverses to white text on a black background,

and the rest screen appears.

During a rest, select UP or DOWN to view other data screens

(optional).

Select BACK, and continue swimming.

Repeat for additional rest intervals.

Training with the Drill Log

The drill log feature is available only for pool swimming. You can

use the drill log feature to manually record kick sets, one-arm

swimming, or any type of swimming that is not one of the four

major strokes.

During your pool swim activity, select UP or DOWN to view

the drill log screen.

Select BACK to start the drill timer.

After you complete a drill interval, select BACK.

The drill timer stops, but the activity timer continues to record

the entire swim session.

Select a distance for the completed drill.

Distance increments are based on the pool size selected for

the activity profile.

Select an option:

• To start another drill interval, select BACK.

• To start a swim interval, select UP or DOWN to return to

the swim training screens.

Outdoor Activities

The Forerunner device comes preloaded with outdoor activities,

such as running and cycling. GPS is turned on for outdoor

activities. You can add new activities based on default activities,

such as walking or rowing. You can also add custom activities to

your device (Creating a Custom Activity, page 3).

Playing Audio Prompts During Your Activity

You can enable your Forerunner 245 Music device to play

motivational status announcements during a run or other

activity. Audio prompts play on your connected headphones

using Bluetooth technology, if available. Otherwise, audio

prompts play on your smartphone paired through the Garmin

Connect app. During an audio prompt, the device or smartphone

mutes the primary audio to play the announcement.

NOTE: This feature is not available for all activities.

From the watch face, hold UP.

Select Settings > Audio Prompts.

• To hear a prompt for each lap, select Lap Alert.

Heart Rate Alert.
