Pool Swim tracking

COROS watches support and automatically detect 4 major stroke types in Pool Swim mode including Freestyle, Breaststroke, Backstroke and Butterfly. You can easily change the pool length setting on the watch to meet your need. Drill log such as kick sets can't be detected or recorded by the watch. 

Distance is measured and detected when you make a turn. If you don’t use a flip turn, please make sure to include arm movements that are substantially different than stroke movements during the turn. In addition, please make sure to complete a turn as quickly as possible. 

Calibrating the compass on the watch can help fix the turn/distance recognition issues in pool swims. Please go to Toolbox menu (long press BACK from main watch face) > Compass > Calibrate (long press CONFIRM on the compass page).

The pool swimming tracking algorithms are equipped with machine learning mechanism. Please make sure that your strokes and turns are as standard as possible for the whole activity. If you change stroke types before making a turn, the watch may miss count or double count the distance. 

In addition, please don't start the Pool Swim tracking until you are actually in the pool and ready to swim. Please complete warm-up activities before starting this mode.
