Using the Garmin 310XT for my indoor swimming, I did a 4x200m swim today with 90 second rest between sets. There is no clock at my swim pool so I used lap to start the 90 second timer.
Using garmin connect or training peaks I can’t figure out how to not include these rest periods into my pace per 200. Garmin connect allows me to edit total distance, but it figures my total time into this distance. I’d like to be able to do quick comapares on the computer in the future without having to manually do the calculation each time.
Basically instead of 4 laps, I have 7. And even then, it doesn’t show my pace per 200 on garmin connect. It just reads 0.
The 310xt doesn’t work worth crap for pool swims. Finis Swimsense, yeah it is another $200 but worth it IMO. Syncs with TrainingPeaks too
Or a 910XT that will do just about everything the Finis will do plus GPS, running, biking, etc.
True but he has a 310xt already so it’s probably cheaper and easier to go Swimsense rather than sell a used 310 and buy a new 910. Also the sim analysis on the Swimsense is better than what you get out of the 910 currently.
That said either choice is better than what he the OP has now.

What do you guys do?
RunningAhead.com is a free log site that can do run, swim, bike, weights, pretty much what ever you want. You can upload from your Garin into the log, then go into the intervals and call your 90 second wall rest a “rest” lap and exclude it from the time and distance totals. It also calculates the lap distance and time and shows you the pace. Its a very nice training log. Below is the data as aprint screen of my recovery swim last night.
