About the Training Calendar
The training calendar on your device is an extension of the
training calendar or schedule you set up in Garmin Connect.
After you have added a few workouts to the Garmin Connect
calendar, you can send them to your device. All scheduled
workouts sent to the device appear in the calendar widget.
When you select a day in the calendar, you can view or do the
workout. The scheduled workout stays on your device whether
you complete it or skip it. When you send scheduled workouts
from Garmin Connect, they overwrite the existing training
calendar.

Swim Information
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 Fields, page 10).
Free Freestyle
Back Backstroke
Breast Breaststroke
Fly Butterfly
Mixed More than one stroke type in an interval
Drill Used with drill logging (Training with the Drill Log, page 2)
Starting an Activity
When you start an activity, GPS turns on automatically (if
required). If you have an optional wireless sensor, you can pair it
to the Garmin Swim 2 device (Pairing Your External Heart Rate
Monitor, page 16).
1
From the watch face, select START.
2
Select an activity.
3
If the activity requires GPS signals, go outside to an area with
a clear view of the sky.
4

The device is ready after it establishes your heart rate,
acquires GPS signals (if required), and connects to your
wireless sensors (if required).

Select START to start the activity timer.
