As you swim, your watch registers your strokes and the number of turns you make in the pool. To
calculate the distance you have swum and your speed, your watch uses the pool size and the
number of turns you have made. If the pool size is not accurate, the metrics for your swimming
activity cannot be worked out correctly.
To change the POOL SIZE settings, do the following:
1. From the activity start screen, press DOWN to open the SETTINGS menu.
2. Select POOL SIZE, then press RIGHT.
3. Set the size so it shows the nominal length of the pool, then move RIGHT.
4. Set the fraction size so it shows the additional fraction length of the pool, then move RIGHT.
5. Set the measurement unit to metres or yards.
6. Press RIGHT to go immediately back to the activity screen.
When you select SWIM, your watch does not use its internal GPS receiver.
To set which metrics to display do the following:
1. From the activity start screen, press DOWN to the SETTINGS menu.
2. Select METRICS, then press RIGHT.
3. Select DISPLAY, then press RIGHT.
4. Select LEFT or RIGHT to set the metric shown on the left or the right.
5. Select the metric to be displayed from the list, such as STROKES or LENGTHS.
Settings for Treadmill
Your height is set on the very first use of your watch. Before you start an activity on the treadmill
for the first time, you should check that your height has been set correctly. You can do this in your
TomTom MySports account or on your watch.
As you run on a treadmill, your watch registers the number of times you swing your arm back and
forward and how quickly. This matches the number of strides you make as you run. Your watch uses
your height to calculate the length of your stride, and from this the distance you have run and your
pace.
To check your height on your watch, do the following:
1. From the clock, press DOWN to open the SETTINGS menu.
2. Select PROFILE, then press RIGHT.
3. Select HEIGHT, then press RIGHT.
4. Set your height.
Calibrating your watch for Treadmill activities
The distance measurements your watch makes for Treadmill activities are less accurate than for Run
activities. When you run outdoors, your watch uses GPS to measure the distance you cover.
You are not asked to calibrate each single treadmill activity. You get a reminder to do so in the
following situations:
Your activity distance is 400 metres or more.
Your activity duration is 1 minute or longer.
Your number of steps is 60 or more.
You have done less than 6 calibrated runs.
If you calibrate your watch, the distance measurements for Treadmill activities become more
accurate.
Tip: You are always asked if you want to change your distance at the end of a treadmill session.
To calibrate your watch, do the following:
