Garmin Swim 2 is a GPS swimming smartwatch made to monitor heart rate and track distance, pace, stroke count, SWOLF and more in the pool and open water. Just add water.
See your heart rate on your wrist, no strap needed.
Battery life for the whole week. That’s up to 7 days for those counting.
Get pacing alerts, logging drills and everything you need to advance your swim.
Know when to slow down or speed up with Critical Swim Speed.
Your watch automatically stops when you do — done and done.
Do it your way when you design your own workouts.
Get underwater heart rate1 data without a chest strap. Check heart rate right on your wrist as you swim and during rests, and then analyse post-swim on the Garmin Connect™ app.
Using built-in GPS, you can train in lakes, oceans and rivers while recording distance, pace, stroke count, stroke rate, stroke distance and SWOLF.
Dive into the water and start recording distance, pace, stroke count, stroke type and SWOLF; take advantage of advanced pool features, including auto rest.
Guide your training and track your progress when you know your critical swim speed, which approximates your anaerobic threshold speed.
Track time and distance for drills such as kicking, one-arm swimming or sculling.
When you need a break, the Garmin Swim 2 smartwatch lets you track your rests with two types of timers.
Turn-based pacing alerts make it easy to stay on target and meet your goals.
Create your own custom workouts in the Garmin Connect app and get them on your watch for training.
Keep track of your heart rate zones, calories, aerobic and anaerobic training effect and more to train smarter and harder.
Find out if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day. Relax reminders will even prompt you to do a short breathing activity.
Track your body’s energy levels so you can find the best times for activity and rest.
While you’re out and about, Garmin Swim 2 tracks steps, intensity minutes and more.
Switch up your workout routine with activity profiles for cycling, cardio, run activities and more.
Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch when paired with a compatible smartphone.
With access to multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo), you’ll know how far and fast you’ve swum on your longest open-water swims.
Get automatic uploads to our online community where you can see detailed metrics, track progress and share your workout data with coaches, workout buddies or friends and family.
Internal, rechargeable battery provides up to 7 days in smartwatch mode, 13 hours in GPS and optical heart rate (OHR) mode and 72 hours in pool and OHR mode.
