Hello
When I have pushed in the athletica swim workout into my Garmin Swim 2 I can’t find a way to use the drill log. Is it doable and I just haven’t figured it out?
For example if I want to log a kick set I think I need to log it as a drill and log the distance as the garmin won’t recognize me doing kick and the distance.
Do people have a work around for this?
Thanks for any thoughts

Hi, I am also wanting to know this! I cant see how many lengths I have completed. My Garmini vibrates when I am swimming, but because I am swimming I have no idea what it is telling me. I am using the skip workout mode until I figure it out too.

The vibration usually means (at least what happens to me), you’re in the last 25m/50m of your defined set. So let’s say you have a 200m set and your pool setting is 50m, Garmin vibrates around the 15th-20th meter of your last 50m.
That being said, @Prof, I would love to have the option of sending swim workouts only as drill sets to my Garmin Watch. Sometimes I do my workouts in crowded pools and when I hit someone by mistake or have to slow down, Garmin thinks I completed a pool length and completely screws up the workout. That’s why I always copy the workouts from Athletica to Garmin Connect, and set the stroke type of the steps as “Drill”.

Having same problem with logging drills. Any update on this @Prof ?
Hi @10uhc,
Does @anilakarsu 's advice not work for you?
I honestly haven’t tried it. I would be more likely to just do it with paper than take more time to do this. On my swim days I usually have a ride or run also and to get in both without doing more is my goal for those days.
I also want to say that I really appreciate your responsiveness and willingness to take suggestions and improve Athletics!

I know this is an old thread…
But I think that it would be helpful if the kick and drill segments in the swims would sync with garmin as drill segments. Is that possible?
What happens otherwise is that the distance is just lost (particularly dispiriting for me at least with kick sets / kicking). The watch does not log kicking at all, and many drills throw off other metrics like DPS, SWOLF, stroke rate, etc) and there is no way during a workout to change the interval to drill. At least not the I’ve found.
The suggestion to recreate the workout in Garmin Connect works, but that is quite time-intensive - the pushed workouts cannot be edited in garmin connect - I have to recreate them from scratch (this also creates yet another workout in garmin connect).
Form goggles do log the distance, but there’s no direct connection with form yet. I can download the fit file and upload it, but this is also somewhat time-intensive (form emails the file to me, then I upload it after deleting the garmin uploaded workout). not everyone has form goggles.
The easiest workaround I’ve found is to print the workout out and manually log the swim in my watch - but this is an extra step.
