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.
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).
