Garmin and Apple Watch swim sync setup: complete checklist

Start with the training details that affect the session itself. Check your selected plan, pool length, current pace, and the equipment listed for the workout before relying on the watch at the pool.

DuoSwim supports watch-ready workout delivery for Apple Watch and Garmin. The exact device screens vary, but the training workflow is the same: prepare the workout in DuoSwim, open it on the connected watch, and follow the structured set in the pool.

Let the completed activity sync, then review the swim in DuoSwim. If the distance or pacing looks wrong, first check the pool-length and workout settings before changing your training targets.

A watch is optional in DuoSwim, so you can still follow the workout from your phone when a device is unavailable.
