More than one stroke type in
an interval
• A length is one trip down the pool.
• An interval in swimming is like a lap in
running. You can break your swim into
swim intervals and rest intervals.
• A stroke is counted every time your
arm wearing the Forerunner completes
a full cycle.
• Your swolf score is the sum of the
time for one length and the number of
strokes for that length. For example,
30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals
a swolf score of 45. Swolf is a
measurement of swimming efciency
and, like golf, a lower score is better.
• Your swim efciency index is the sum
of the time and the number of strokes
that it takes to swim 25 meters. This
allows you to compare your swim
efciency to another pool or an open
water workout. A lower swim efciency
index is better.
