`Length : One trip down the pool.
`Interval : One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts
`after a rest.
`Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the
`device completes a full cycle.
`Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool
`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 efficiency and, like
`golf, a lower score is better.
`
`Alerts
`You can set alerts for each activity, which can help you to train
`toward specific goals. Some alerts are available only for specific
`activities.
`Setting Range Alerts
`A range alert notifies you when the device is above or below a
`specified range of values. For example, you can set the device
`to alert you when your heart rate is below zone 2 and over zone
`5 (Setting Your Heart Rafe Zones, page 2).

`The Move IQ feature automatically detects activity patterns,
`such as walking, running, biking, swimming, and elliptical
`training, for at least 10 minutes. You can view the event type
`and duration on your Garmin Connect timeline, but they do not
`appear in your activities list, snapshots, or newsfeed. For more
`detail and accuracy, you can record a timed activity on your
`device.
