How to connect its Garmin watch
Follow the steps below:
Automatic sync
As soon as the OpenSwim application is connected to your Garmin Connect account, synchronization becomes automatic. On the first synchronization, your swim workouts from the last 30 days will be imported.
Afterwards, swim with your Garmin watch, then sync it with your Garmin Connect app. Your training data will be available in the Activities tab / My activity history of your OpenSwim app.
Finally, some Garmin watches can read swim workout directly on the watch. For example, you can pick an OpenSwim workout and send it to your watch, to be guided while swimming. For more details, see ourarticle.
After one of your workouts, if you notice that your data has not been synchronized, open the app, go to the Garmin page and click on the blue “Sync Garmin” button. The app will then ask Garmin to send your data again.
