So I've been trying to get into the new garmin. (slowly transitioning from my old Foreruner 210.)

A couple questions if anyone can help:

-In the water, my 920 will measure laps in a pool. but not if they are kick only. I guess it has to do with the stroke of the arm. Is there a way to trick the 920 so that it records kick only in a pool setting?

-Any good tutorials on line in how to learn the 920? It is like a super computer compared to my old 210... And thought I've been playing around with it, I am not comfortable in how to use it, program it, etc. If there are any good links to online tutorials, or youtube I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks,

TCO

For kick sets I don't do anything as I only care about what my interval times are. After a 300 yard or so warmup I'll usually do a 200 yard kick set so I just leave the watch in the pause mode until the kicking's over and I go to the next swim set.

But if you want to track kicking, this video does a good job in explaining how to do that. At around 2:05 of the video he explains what to do to log your kick sets.

When you get to the wall, push off with the arm that has the 920 may work, but I have not tried using my 920 with just kicking.

I use the drill mode function to track my kick sets. You have to keep track within the set yourself, but it allows you to manually add the distance to your workout as a whole.
