A 'pace swim' is a structured swimming workout in DuoSwim where you aim to maintain a consistent speed over a set distance or time interval. Here’s how you can track a pace swim using the DuoSwim Watch app on your Apple Watch:

  1. Open the DuoSwim Watch app: Locate and open the app on your Apple Watch.

  2. Select Pool Swim: Tap on "Pool Swim" to indicate that you'll be swimming in a pool.

  3. Confirm pool size: Specify the length of the pool you're swimming in. This helps the app accurately track your distance.

  4. Choose Pace: Select the "Pace" option. Here, you can set your desired pace for the swim. This could be based on a specific time per lap or a time interval that you aim to swim consistently.

  5. Start Workout: Tap "Start Workout" to begin your pace swim. The app will start tracking your swim session based on the pace you've chosen.

  6. Swim: Start swimming and aim to stay on pace with the intervals or time targets set in the app.

  7. Finish Workout: When you've completed your swim, end the workout by holding down the watch crown and swiping the screen from left to right.

  8. Save Workout: Tap "Save" to save the workout data to your profile. This allows you to review your performance later.

Tracking Drills & Kicking in 'Pace' Open Goal Swims

If you want to incorporate drills or kicking into your 'Pace' open goal swim, you can use the Drill Mode feature:

  • Enter Drill Mode: To enter Drill Mode, hold down the digital crown to disable water lock, swipe right to show the menu, and tap on "Drill Mode".

  • Perform the drill or kick set: While in Drill Mode, perform your kicking or drill set as needed.

  • Exit Drill Mode: To exit Drill Mode, hold down the digital crown again to disable water lock, swipe right to show the menu, and tap on "End Drill Mode".

  • Enter total kick/drill distance: After exiting Drill Mode, enter the total distance you covered during the kick or drill set.

  • Resume Swim Workout: Tap "OK" to confirm and resume your Swim Workout with the added drill or kick distance accounted for.

By using the DuoSwim Watch app with these features, you can effectively track and enhance your pace swims, ensuring you stay on target with your training goals.
