If you prefer not to follow a pre-written workout on the DuoSwim Watch app, you have options to track an open goal (unguided) swim using your smartwatch. With an Apple Watch or Garmin Watch, you can effectively monitor your swimming workouts while still benefiting from DuoSwim's features for progress tracking and sharing workouts with friends.
Using an Apple Watch:
Track a Pool Swim:
Open the DuoSwim Watch app.
Tap on "Pool Swim."
Confirm your pool size.
Tap "Start Workout" and begin swimming.
When you finish your workout:
Hold down the watch crown to open the menu.
Swipe left to right and tap "End."
Tap "Save" to save the workout to your profile.
Track an Open Water Swim:
Open the DuoSwim Watch app.
Tap on "Open Water Swim."
Tap "Start Workout" and start swimming.
When you finish your workout:
Hold down the watch crown to open the menu.
Swipe left to right and tap "End."
Tap "Save" to save the workout to your profile.
Track a pace swim:
Open the DuoSwim Watch app.

Confirm your pool size.
Select Pace and choose your desired pace.
Tap Start Workout and swim!
When you finish your Workout, open the menu by holding down the watch crown and swiping the screen left to right.
Tap End.
Tap Save to save the Workout to your Profile.
Tracking drills & kicking in open goal swims:
You can use Drill Mode during any open swim to add in a kick or drill set that the Apple Watch would normally not be able to track. To use Drill Mode, you need to enter Drill Mode, perform the kick or drill Set, then exit Drill Mode.
To Enter Drill Mode:
Hold down the digital crown to disable water lock.
Swipe right to show the menu.
Tap on Drill Mode.
To Exit Drill Mode:
Hold down the digital crown to disable water lock.
Swipe right to show the menu.
Tap on End Drill Mode.
Enter your total kick/drill distance.
Tap OK and resume your Swim Workout.
Using a Garmin Watch:
Track an Unguided Pool or Open Water Swim:
Navigate to the "Garmin Pool Swim" or "Open Water" widget on your Garmin device.
Choose your preferred pool distance if applicable, or skip this step for open water swims.
Begin your swim.
Save your activity once finished.
By following these instructions, you can seamlessly integrate unguided swimming sessions into your training routine while benefiting from DuoSwim's features for progress tracking and workout sharing.
