What’s the best way to pool swim with the S9?

Bulkan

Following… I suffer the same… don´t now how to swim with this watch and count the laps, the time…

Victor Mora

@Bulkan Hopefully somebody who knows chimes in soon!

just wait, have you ever tried? every time you finish a tub and don’t leave, watch takes 5-7 seconds to count it.
For resting time, I take laps but I know…it’s not the best choice. Maybe…later we can see watch we saw in movescount, with autorecognition of time of pause

Bulkan

When you do a lap for the rest how do you manage in Movescount/ Suunto app?

I use auto pause but the main problem is I don’t know the rest time and sometimes drives me crazy.

@Bulkan
I don’t take pause. When i do, for example 10x100m with series recovery till 2’, I’m starting with the activity, suppose we get to 100m in 1’40 ", I press the lap and we will repeat it once I get to 2 '. And so on: the following at 100m, arriving at 3’40 ", I press lap and I will repeat it at 4 ', starting again.

In MC is yet clear, in SA laps are coming

@Saketo-Nemo this seems to produce correct intervals in the Suunto app. My manual laps are off, ex: a 200yd interval may show in the manual section as a 175yd lap and a 25 yd lap. I guess this has to do when the last length is counted and when I press the lap button. The app probably does something in the background to create a 200yd interval which is what I meant to have done in the first place.

Thank you very much, so you don’t use auto pause and autolaps? You use it like I was used to use my Garmin.

I will try it that way. The lack of laps in Suunto app was driving me crazy.

@Saketo-Nemo when do you press the lap bottom? When you finish straight or do you turn and press lap?

@Bulkan
No autopause, no autolap.
Press lap at the end of a serie and when i start again

Victor Mora

how do you auto pause on pool swims? I don’t see to have that feature in my Pool Swimming options

Victor Mora

@Saketo-Nemo when I press lap at the end of an interval, it doesn’t count my last length. See example in my screenshot below. The screenshot shows a 200 meter interval (~218 yards) but it counted the last length of 25m (27 yd) during my “rest”. Does that happen to you? The only way I can avoid this is by waiting about 5 seconds and then my last length is counted.

Bulkan

@Victor-Mora in options you have it

Bulkan

@Victor-Mora The same problem for me, sometimes 175 meters and sometimes 200 meters, I don’t know if do I have to turn, wait 5 seconds…

Found a fix to this, see my post here: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/1510/bad-swimming-sync-to-strava/94
