Garmin Swim Watch

Have you used the Garmin swim watch? What do you think? I am swimming at a pool in Germany now with no lane lines and the pace clock is rarely turned on so wondering if this might be a good new "toy" to add to my attempted workouts.

  • I have one of these and they're great. They look awesome, I just ordered one. Especially handy if you like to use a snorkel, which makes looking at the wall clock pretty darn difficult during a swim. I wonder if these are legal to use in (say) a 3000/6000 yard postal swim? I know you are not allowed to *wear* a device that aids in pacing, but that wouldn't seem to apply here. After all, you aren't prevented from looking at splits on a scoreboard during a race.
