can it monitor swimming distance?

I haven't tried it for that. It can go into water but I don't think it'll record the distance well.

it does not mention this option in the instructiond, Since i am not a swimmer it was not a concern, The unit however is highly accurate in all other measures

No, it will not measure distances of less than thirty-three feet. It refused to give a reading below that distance.

I have never used it on the water....but I don't know why it wouldn't work....it works off of a satellite....you are just marking the spot that you are at......and it directs you back.

Yes. Buy third-party software, e.g. Blue Iris for Microsoft Windows, tinyMonitor for Google Android. Free demo and download are available.

Yes. You can also measure speed and distance if used with the Polar S1 foot pod

I'm not sure, the hr monitor has a text that says waterproof for 30 meters depth, but I have not tried. Last weekend I was diving but my watch, but under water the buttoms do not response. It begin to run two days after.

I'm sorry I can not give an accurate distance because my pool is close to the base station. We do however have a lake about 50 feet from the base station that had tripped the alarm.

You can use the vibrating alarm, it alerts you when you have swam a certain number of laps, distance or time interval.

My guess would be yes. You definitely would have to monitor the water level, though. The maximum water depth is around 11 1/2 inches on my device, which I frequently use in a five gallon plastic bucket.

Yes, you can if you are in the area covered by GPS. I used it for boat ride and set it to display speed and distance.

I have been using 910 XT indor swimming for more than 2 months. No problem mesuring lenghts although sometimes it is not absolutelly accurate mainly when mixing styles. I have not payed attention to the GPS due to I am indoor and I guess it is no needed

it does monitor heart rate if you push and hold a button. I would not trust it to be completely waterproof. I am on my second LifeTrak, and with the first one, I trusted the claim of waterproof. It quit working after two months. LifeTrak customer service was great and replaced it, but I don't trust the new one to be completely waterproof.

Hello C. Day, I have used this GPS watch only once for swimming. I looked at my watch right now: It's awesome. You can enter the pool seize, you can enter goals (distance, time, calories), you can choose interval training (warm-up, work, rest, number of sets, cool down), you can choose lapes (by time and distance). You can set the watch display to show two of the following: duration, distance, lengths, swolf, strokes, and calories. I hope this feedback helps.

No. The device uses Bluetooth technology that is relatively short-range (150 feet?). Beyond that, it is just a thermometer. All it does is report the temperature.

There are two run settings, one for outdoor courses and large indoor tracks (I assume). This one uses GPS tracking. If you can get a connection it should track you.The other run setting is for a treadmill. This one doesn't require the GPS.Swimming doesn't have a GPS tracker as far as I know. That doesn't mean it wont be added in the future though. This function works similar to the Treadmill run setting.

It will work. Device detects water in fluid. Very good result in various cases

Not sure. You may be able to modify your existing system. Call your monitoring company.
