My first 100x100m. Time for some haagen-dazs and a drink

@Uma
I think the watch doesn’t maintain good contact in water. It’s inconsistent when tracking my heart rate too.

Calories from swimming on the Apple Watch always seem way too low for me, so I don’t really worry about them.

How accurate would you say the heart rate measurement seems based on what you’re doing?

Swimming is the hardest workout I do, yet other less intense sports have me hitting max heart rates of 180 while swimming I don’t go over 160.

@Kai
In all my years of swimming, even after sprinting, my heart rate never reached the level it would after a decent jog. I’m not even close to being able to explain why, but I do trust the heart rate monitoring for consistency across different exercises.

@Lyle
I don’t trust my Apple Watch much for monitoring my heart rate underwater. But if it is somewhat accurate, it aligns with the mammalian dive reflex Diving reflex - Wikipedia

Well I’ll be damned, that really sums up the results I see. I really appreciate you sharing!

Ah, I see. I swam 1550 yards last week and my Amazfit Balance said I burned 870.

Yeah there’s no way

Something seems off with those stats

1m30s per 100 average?!!

I dream of 50m pools. Just a dream.

Don’t you have a single one nearby?
