Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need to enter my weight?
o The AquaCoach uses this to calculate calories burnt
- I want to swim sets, can the AquaCoach record each set?
o Yes, you can play back all the details from individual sets as well as the details of the total swim session
- The AquaCoach does not count all my laps
o If you have inaccurate lap results make sure the watch is securely attached to your wrist and cannot move around.
Also try gliding for a longer period at the start of each lap. This saves you energy and gives the AquaCoach a little longer to register the change of laps.
Some swimmers may find better results wearing the AquaCoach on the other wrist
- The AquaCoach does not work when I do kick-sets or some drills
o The AquaCoach must be put in Pause mode when doing kick sets or drills
- Will the AquaCoach work in open water?
o The AquaCoach has been designed for the pool and will only work in a pool (or an open water body with designated and measured laps)
- Can I wear the AquaCoach on any arm?
o Yes
- The AquaCoach gives strange results when I change strokes mid lap
o The AquaCoach has not been designed to recognize changes of stroke part way through a lap.
You can only change strokes when you start a new lap. If not, it will result in inaccurate lap counts.
- What units is the Speed measured in?
o In seconds/100 meters, as most swimmers calculate their speed this way and can be used with a pool clock as well.
- Will the AquaCoach work with flip turns?
o Yes, the AquaCoach works both with flip turns and with pushing off the wall
- Will the AquaCoach work in all pools?
o Yes, it will work in all pools over 15 meters/yards, but the pool length needs to be set up before use.
In order to recognize you are swimming, the AquaCoach needs to detect several swim strokes.
If using a small pool you may reach the end before this occurs.
