The Apple Watch (I have series 5) works very well tracking HR in the pool.
Thank you for this! I have an Apple Watch series 5 and never even thought to try swimming with it. I just assumed it wouldn’t be very good. With the 935, workouts will go to Garmin Connect, which then feeds to Strava and TP. I’m assuming I could do the same with swim WO’s recorded on the Apple Watch?
I have never tried to upload from my Apple Watch to Garmin and TP…the app in development will send to TP in the future. What I have been doing is swimming with both my 935 on one wrist and the Apple Watch on the other. The 935 is annoying in that you need to pause with each interval (although the screen metrics on the pause screen are good for reviewing, ie last lap time and total distance so far and seconds in the current rest interval)…the Apple Watch (and Garmin Swim 2) auto pause each rest period so you don’t need to worry as much…
