Garmin expix pro 51mm does not support skipping last rest step

I noticed something odd while reviewing a synced swim workout on my Garmin Epix Pro 51mm. The workout includes a step labeled “Repeat 9-18 1x,” and I’m not sure if I’ve been doing the workout correctly because of how my watch handles repeats. Here’s the workout:

  • 2x100m freestyle, 15s rest
  • Rest until Lap button press
  • 3x50m freestyle, 10s rest
  • Rest until Lap button press
  • 150m freestyle, 10s rest
  • 100m freestyle, 10s rest
  • 100m freestyle, 10s rest
  • 100m freestyle, 10s rest
  • 100m freestyle, 30s rest
  • Repeat 9-18 1x
  • Rest until Lap button press
  • 300m freestyle
  • Rest until Lap button press

From my understanding, there aren’t 18 steps in this workout, as it only counts up to 12 steps including the rest intervals. I’m confused about what “Repeat 9-18 1x” refers to since I don’t see steps 10-18 in the workout.

To further troubleshoot, I went back to Athletica, synced the workout again, and then opened Garmin Connect to resend it to my watch. That’s when I noticed the error:

“Epix Pro 51mm does not support skipping last rest step.”

Questions:

  1. Am I misunderstanding the repeat? Could “Repeat 9-18” mean something else?

  2. Have I been missing out on performing the workout correctly because of this issue with skipping the last rest step on my Epix Pro?

  3. Is there a way to edit the workout from Garmin Connect to fix this?

  4. Would switching to a different watch resolve this issue?

Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!
