GPS Kids | Record open-water swim distance, average speed with Forerunner 310XT

The award-winning Forerunner 310XT has already established itself as a firm favorite among triathletes, by offering the most comprehensive and accurate training and racing data available. All in a wrist-mounted, swim-proof computer, the Forerunner 310XT uses high sensitivity gps kids watch to seamlessly record the time, speed, distance and elevation profile for the bike, run and transition sections of the race, and, when used in conjunction with the relevant sensors, gives heartrate, cadence, and even power data too. And now, the Forerunner 310XT uses gps kids watch to add one further dimension: the ability to record open-water swim distance and average speed.

The triathlete simply enables the swim mode, and presses start as they begin their swim. When they finish the swim they press the lap button and the Forerunner 310XT automatically processes a combination of the time and gps kids watch data to give them the distance covered and average speed. This means that, for the very first time, a triathlete can record the vital metrics for every aspect of their race, from the moment they enter the water to the moment they cross the finish line at the end of the run. All of this data can then be uploaded to Garmin Connect for in-depth analysis and review after the race.

Making this good news even better for new and current 310XT owners is that this free software update is currently available, and it’s quick and easy to download from Garmin.com.
