Important notes:

1. Your Aquacoach has been designed for automatedlap counting in

water. It will not work in open water.

2. The Aquacoach detects regular stroking patterns that conform to

Front crawl, Breaststroke, Backstroke or Butterfly strokes only.

The Aquacoach must be put into PAUSE mode when doing drills

and kick sets, or resting in-between sets.

3. Strokes must only be changed at the end of a lap, not part way

through a lap or inaccurate lap and stroke counts may be recorded.

4. The stroke count displayed is the number of strokes taken by the

arm you wear the Aquacoach on. Remember when swimming

Front crawl and Backstroke this is half the number of strokes.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Why do I need to enter my weight?

o The AquaCoach uses this to calculate calories burnt

- I want to swim sets, can the AquaCoach record each set?

o Yes, you can play back all the details from individual sets as well as the details of the total swim session

- The AquaCoach does not count all my laps

o If you have inaccurate lap results make sure the watch is securely attached to your wrist and cannot move around.

Also try gliding for a longer period at the start of each lap. This saves you energy and gives the AquaCoach a little longer to register the change of laps.

Some swimmers may find better results wearing the AquaCoach on the other wrist

- The AquaCoach does not work when I do kick-sets or some drills

o The AquaCoach must be put in Pause mode when doing kick sets or drills

- Will the AquaCoach work in open water?

o The AquaCoach has been designed for the pool and will only work in a pool (or an open water body with designated and measured laps)

- Can I wear the AquaCoach on any arm?

o Yes

- The AquaCoach gives strange results when I change strokes mid lap

o The AquaCoach has not been designed to recognize changes of stroke part way through a lap.

You can only change strokes when you start a new lap. If not, it will result in inaccurate lap counts.

- What units is the Speed measured in?

o In seconds/100 meters, as most swimmers calculate their speed this way and can be used with a pool clock as well.

- Will the AquaCoach work with flip turns?

o Yes, the AquaCoach works both with flip turns and with pushing off the wall

- Will the AquaCoach work in all pools?

o Yes, it will work in all pools over 15 meters/yards, but the pool length needs to be set up before use.

In order to recognize you are swimming, the AquaCoach needs to detect several swim strokes.

If using a small pool you may reach the end before this occurs.

ISSUE

CAUSE

SOLUTION

Watch misses a lot of

laps

SETUP problem. The most

common fault for this is the watch

is set up for the wrong hand.

Change the hand setting in the

SETUP menu.

Watch misses laps

The swimmer may take quicker

turns than average. Quick turns

result in a short glide period, the

watch may not have enough time

to register the change of lap.

NOTE: This may happen slightly

more with breaststroke swimming.

Try gliding a little longer at the start of

each lap, this will give the watch a

little longer to register the change of

lap. Just a second will probably be all

that

s required.

Watch misses laps

Try wearing the watch on your

other arm, this may be more

regular or when swimming crawl

may spend more time in the glide

position when changing lap.

Change the hand setting in the

SETUP menu and wear watch on

other arm.

Watch misses laps

Pool length may be too short (the

watch needs 6 or 7 regular

strokes on the arm you wear the

watch on, before it knows you are

swimming).

Use a longer pool, an 18 metre pool is

usually sufficient for most swimmers

but those with a long distance per

stroke may need a longer pool.

Watch misses laps

Alternating between single laps of

crawl and breaststroke may

produce inaccurate lap counts in

some swimmers.

Try gliding a little longer at the start of

each lap, this will give the watch a

little longer to register the change of

lap. Just a second will probably be all

that

s required.

Watch counts an extra

lap or two

Hesitating, interrupting stroke

rhythm or changing stroke type

mid lap.

Refrain from changing stroke mid lap,

be aware that if you stop behind

another swimmer in the middle of a

lap or interrupt the stroking pattern the

watch may count an extra lap.
