Wishlist: Open water swimming data series

Open alevin opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Please consider adding an option to use time per 100 (yards/meters) as a pace unit. imho it is more suitable for swimming.

I noticed that this unit is used for "Swim pace" data series, but it is not visible for "Open Water swimming" I would be great to add it and other swimming metrics ( SWOLF , strokes/min , strokes/length) , to "Open Water Swimming"

Thanks

"strokes/min" is really "cadence" and this graph should be available if your device records this data. "SWOLF" and "strokes/length" do not make sense for Open Water Swimming (OWS) since they are related to the length of the swimming pool (and the values don't compare across pools of different length). For OWS there is also a "Stride" graph, which is "distance/stroke".

However, I did want to add a pace measured in min/100 m (or yards), but the internal data representation makes this a bit more complicated, but I will look into it a bit more.

I pushed some changes to show Open Water Swimming pace as min/100m or min/100yd, let me know if this works for you.

Thanks, pace looks good to me ! About "SWOLF", and "strokes/length" - I agree that they make less sense for the open water, but still can be calculated for the intervals and Garmin is showing them in mobile version of Connect, but not in the browser (not sure why). imho, this metrics could be still valuable addition in the laps projection, especially when recalculated for different split types ( 100m, best effort ... )

Thanks, again !
