Apple Watch + Swimming + Average Pace

My understanding is that you can set an average pace for running (say, 7 minutes per mile) and the watch will alert you if you deviate from the pace.

Can you do the same for swimminr say, 26 seconds for each 25 yards or 32 minutes per mile, with the watch altering you if you go off pace?

How to exclude idle time from pace? I do a lot of interval training during pool swims (eg 10 x 100yds on 1:20 and then a break before the next set when coach gives direction). I’d like my watch to track my pace while I’m actively swimming minus the idle time between sets, which shows the pace as much slower. I’ve heard that Garmin watches can be set to not count idle time. Can the Apple Watch be set to exclude idle time from pace? Thanks.

Apple Watch Ultra Pool swim Workout Distance Alert Hi, I would like to enable a distance alert while doing a pool swim. In addition to having an overall distance goal, say 1000 yards, I'd like the watch to alert me when I reach 200 yards. I see there is an option to add a time alert, but no option to add a distance alert while having the goal being distance, time, or calories. Is this an option in the Apple workout app on the Apple Watch? Thank You, Brook

Does the Apple Watch 7 show BPM live as you are swimming laps? Does the Apple 7 watch show beats per minute live as you are swimming laps. I see at the end of the workout the average bpm and the range, but can you see your beats per minute as you are swimming, not just at the end [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Unfortunately the article did not discuss setting an Average Pace prior to your workout and keeping you on track.
