HRM-Swim Accessory
Heart Rate While Swimming
NOTE: If both wrist-based heart rate and chest
heart rate data are available, your device uses
the chest heart rate data.
To view your heart rate data, you can add heart
rate
data fields (
Customizing the Data Screens,
page 29
).
Heart rate data is not visible while the
heart rate accessory is underwater.The HRM-Tri
accessory and the HRM-Swim accessory record
and store your heart rate data while you are
swimming. You must start a timed activity on
your paired Forerunner device to view your
stored heart rate data later. During rest intervals
when you are out of the water, the heart rate
accessory sends your heart rate data to your
Forerunner device. Your Forerunner device
automatically downloads stored heart rate data
when you save your timed swim activity. Your
heart rate accessory must be out of the water,
active, and within range of the device (3 m) while
the data downloads.
TIP: To view your heart rate data while
swimming, you can add heart rate data fields
(
Customizing the Data Screens, page 29
).
Running Dynamics
You can use the pod with your compatible
device to provide real-time feedback about
your running form. The pod has an accelerometer
that measures torso movement in order to
calculate six running metrics.
NOTE: The running dynamics features are available
on only some Garmin devices.
Cadence: Cadence is the number of steps per minute.
It displays the total steps (right and left combined).
Vertical oscillation: Vertical oscillation is your bounce
while running. It displays the vertical motion of
your torso, measured in centimeters for each
step.
Ground contact time: Ground contact time is the
amount of time in each step that you spend
on the ground while running. It is measured
in milliseconds.
NOTE: Ground contact time and balance are
not available while walking.
Ground contact time balance: Ground contact
time balance displays the left/right balance of
your ground contact time while running. It
displays a percentage. For example, 53.2 with
an arrow pointing left or right.
Stride length: Stride length is the length of your stride
from one footfall to the next. It is measured in
meters.
Vertical ratio: Vertical ratio is the ratio of vertical
oscillation to stride length. It displays a percentage.
A lower number typically indicates better running
form.
