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:
Open the DuoSwim Watch app: Locate and open the app on your Apple Watch.
Select Pool Swim: Tap on "Pool Swim" to indicate that you'll be swimming in a pool.
Confirm pool size: Specify the length of the pool you're swimming in. This helps the app accurately track your distance.
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.
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.
Swim: Start swimming and aim to stay on pace with the intervals or time targets set in the app.
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.
