Garmin Connect IQ swim workouts

Swim Workouts

Structured swim workouts for Garmin watches. Choose a series, workout, language, pool length, and pool units, then let native Pool Swim handle the workout.

Built for structured sets

Workout steps first. Native execution after import.

Swim Workouts focuses on workout files: warmup, technique, send-offs, pull work, and turn-focus steps encoded as FIT workout instructions.

Current MVP boundaries

No calendar sync. No activity recording. No local bundled FIT import.

The app downloads hosted workout files and relies on Garmin's runtime and native sport UI for the rest.
