The Garmin Enduro 3 includes several features specifically designed for swimming, making it suitable for both pool and open-water swimming activities.
Swimming Features
1. Preloaded Swimming Profiles: The Enduro 3 comes with a variety of preloaded activity profiles, including specific modes for swimming. This allows users to select the appropriate profile for their swimming workouts, whether in a pool or open water[1][4].
2. Open Water Swim Profile: This profile utilizes GPS to track swimming in outdoor bodies of water, such as oceans, lakes, or rivers. It is particularly useful for triathletes and open-water swimmers who need accurate tracking of distance and pace[2][4].
3. Performance Metrics: The watch tracks various performance metrics relevant to swimming, including stroke count and efficiency, which can help swimmers optimize their technique and training[1].
4. Health Monitoring Features: Beyond swimming-specific metrics, the Enduro 3 also includes comprehensive health monitoring tools like heart rate tracking, which can be beneficial during swim workouts[1].
These features make the Garmin Enduro 3 a versatile choice for athletes engaged in swimming, alongside its robust capabilities for other outdoor activities like running and cycling.
