Outdoor Activities
The Instinct 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 2).
Viewing Your Ski Runs
Your device records the details of each downhill skiing or
snowboarding run using the auto run feature. This feature is
turned on by default for downhill skiing and snowboarding. It
automatically records new ski runs based on your movement.
The timer pauses when you stop moving downhill and when you
are on a chairlift. The timer remains paused during the chairlift
ride. You can start moving downhill to restart the timer. You can
view run details from the paused screen or while the timer is
running.

Swimming
NOTICE
The device is intended for surface swimming. Scuba diving with
the device may damage the product and will void the warranty.
NOTE: The device cannot record wrist heart rate data while
swimming.
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. For open water swimming, swolf is calculated over 25
meters. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and,
like golf, a lower score is better.
Critical swim speed (CSS): Your CSS is the theoretical speed
that you can maintain continuously without exhaustion. You
can use your CSS to guide your training pace and monitor
your improvement.
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 in your swimming history and in your Garmin Connect
account. You can also select stroke type as a custom data field
(Customizing the Data Screens, page 14).
Free Freestyle
Back Backstroke
Breast Breaststroke
Fly Butterfly
Mixed More than one stroke type in an interval

settings, and select Pool Size to change the size.

The device automatically records swim intervals and lengths
for pool swimming.

swimming.
