Can Apple Watch track a swim in an endless pool

I work in an endless pool, which is actually a treadmill for swimmers. You will stay in one place and swim your heart while it blows a current against you to keep you in place in the small pool.

I see that the watch can track laps, which is controlled by setting the distance of your pool so that he knows what is a length is, according to me. I also see that it can follow a free bath, and I guess it's GPS.

No one knows if she can count the strokes? Or does anyone have an overview if you think it would work to track the swimming event in an endless pool where 1) don't stop and turn around each 'x' distance and 2) you also do not travel any distance to what a GPS is?

Thanks in advance...

Apple Watch uses GPS to track your progress in Open water swimming mode and titles towers during swimming in the pool swimming mode. The endless pool does not have to happen. As to count the strokes, I think it's (quite well know for that), but they do not report this information. Because they do not know to what extent you swim by race, they can use that to calculate your distance. However, I can see a future update where they have an Endless Pool mode when you enter the speed of the pool (assuming that you can set as a treadmill).

    can Apple Watch connect with monitor polar heart?

    Hello

    If you are referring to the H7 polar, then Yes, we can.

    Firstly turn off pairing the monitor from other devices which he may previously have paired with (for example your iPhone), then:

    • Wear the polar H7 (which lights up by being broken to the strap and rotates when detached).
    • On Apple Watch, go to settings > Bluetooth.
    • Wait that Polar H7 appears, then press it.

  • Apple Watch 2 for swimming abilities

    I used to have Garmin 735xt until he recently beat (fault of the operator), but it was great for tracking my swimming workouts. Now, I have to decide alternative (an another Garmin 735 or 920 vs Apple Watch). Apple seems to offer so much more overall, but do not know if it can support the basic of swimming exercise needs. Here are a few more specific questions:

    (1) all comments I've seen show the watch during lock screen. During the exercise, I often need to capture with rests between the two intervals, etc. Sometimes need to stop time to see how I do with a common technique and restart again, etc. This will be possible with a 3rd party apps? Can watch stop support, then by restarting a timer by pressing one of two buttons, while the screen is still blocked?

    (2) second question concerns data in real time: can I look about Mid-swimming watch to see how many laps I left? I read somewhere that, because the screen is locked, data from the accelerator is not transformed until the end of the workout (please excuse my lack of correct terminology); is this true or I'll be able to see the number of turns in real time?

    (3) third question around the metric: will be the watch can provide SWOLF, moving over the total of the PACE, travel / time total, etc.

    Again, my question is if there is a limitation inherent in the Apple Watch which would prevent any of these functions to develop. Otherwise, I have faith that there is a huge community of developers who will fill these gaps.

    Thank you.

  • Apple Watch series 2 swimming

    Have the new Apple Watch series 2 so I can swim with it.  Swimming is my main activity during the week.  Is there something special I need to do when I swim?   I know how to start the activity.  I didn't know if there was a setting I have to change to make it water resistant.  Sorry, I bet it's clear as mud.

    Hello

  • Can Apple Watch returns a message that was not delivered

    Periodically a message could not be sent, which is a problem in itself.  However I wonder if there is a way to send back what she just came with a warning sign that it was not distributed.  This message does not appear on the phone, so it will just be stuck there forever.  Very annoying, does anyone know how to return a message from the watch?  Thank you.

  • How can I enter data apple fitness?  I swim and take aerobics classes.  I don't wear my Apple Watch during this operation.

    How can I enter data of fitness on my Apple Watch?  I swim and take water aerobics classes and not wear my watch in the water.

    Hello

    It is not currently possible to enter data of fitness on Apple Watch.

    Health and fitness data Apple Watch, iPhone and any other source are rather grouped by health on your iPhone app. Combined data is reflected in the health app charts (which can be added to the dashboard), which adjust the results to avoid any double counting of data from different sources.

    To add a workout that has not been registered by your watch, iPhone, or other existing data source:

    -On your iPhone, in the application of health (icon: red heart on a white background), go to: data on health (tab) > Fitness > training > add a data Point > enter the result of your workout.

    Activity types available when you add a workout currently including swimming, but do not include aerobics (other can be used instead).

  • Can I swim with my Apple Watch Sport

    I've seen videos from YouTube many people swim with their watches to Apple. I'm a passionate swimmer myself, but due the fact that I do not have Apple Care, and also because the Apple Watch is just so expensive in South Africa, I'm afraid to take a chance. What's the verdict on the Apple Watch Sport - it's a sports watch - can I take it swim?

    Concerning

    Omar

    Hi Omar

    Apple Watch is splash and water resistant but not waterproof. You can, for example, carry and use it during the year, in the rain and all washing their hands. Immersing, however, is not recommended.

    Apple indicates that the following can affect Apple Watch water resistance and should be avoided:

    • Swim or bathe with it.
    • A fall or submit to other impacts.
    • Immersing in water for long periods of time.
    • Expose to water under pressure or high speed (for example, showering, water skiing, wakeboarding, surfing, jet skiing and so on).
    • He wears in the sauna or the hammam room.

    Apple is not responsible for damage arising from failure to comply with the instructions for use of the product. The same applies with regard to both the limited warranty of one year and AppleCare + (including coverage for accidental damage, unintentional abuse).

  • Will the 2 series watch track swim properly if using a kick Board (without using arms to swim)?

    I have a friend that is considering a 2 Apple Watch series.  It will systematically use a Board during training for her swim meets.  The new Apple Watch will follow distance and calories correctly even if it does not use his arms while swimming with a surfboard?

    I used my series 2 during my bath today for the first time. It does a great job of tracking my laps... freestyle, free with paddles and open palms. But he is not one of my kicks. I threw it only Dolphin on my back (without arms). I swam more than 250 kick 3500yds, it does not register at all. Next time I might try on my stomach, but without a Board of Directors and use my arms a little to breathe.  Overall I was impressed but.
