There are three ways to log Workouts in MySwimPro depending on your Garmin Watch. You can be guided through Workouts with the MySwimPro Connect IQ app (requires a compatible watch model), Guided through Workouts directly in Garmin Connect (Garmin Connect Compatible) or just track your Swims using the Garmin Sync feature! These are all available on iOS & Android.
iOS
Setting Up Garmin Sync
Garmin Sync is the best way to automatically log Garmin Workouts to MySwimPro. After setting it up, all Workouts logged with your Garmin watch will appear in MySwimPro!
To set up Garmin Sync:
Make sure you have bluetooth enabled on your phone and the Garmin watch
In the MySwimPro app, go to Settings > Account Settings
Toggle Garmin Sync
A web page will appear and prompt you to authorize MySwimPro to read your Garmin workout information. Sign in to your Garmin account and tap Allow.
Reopen the MySwimPro app if not automatically directed. The next time you swim with your Garmin device and sync with Garmin Connect, your Swims should log to the MySwimPro app. You'll be able to see your Garmin swims in the MySwimPro feed.
Tracking An Unguided Workout With Garmin Sync
First be sure that you have successfully set up Garmin Sync in your MySwimPro app settings.
Once Garmin Sync is enabled:
Find the Garmin Pool Swim or Open Water widget on your Garmin device
Choose your Preferred Pool Distance (skip this step if open water)
Swim your Workout
Save activity
Once your watch has re-synced with your phone, your Workout will automatically transfer to your Feed in MySwimPro. From there, you can view your Workout data!
