Pool Swim Series 2 Pool Length ISSUE

When I try to start a pool swim, why are my pool length options 0-x yards vs say:

- 25 yds

- 25 m

- 50 m

this is ridiculous and if I want to swim in an Olympic pool, how can I ensure the workout will be recorded accurately (laps, distance, even hr)?

so far no good with the Series 2 for fitness freaks. It appears this watch (like this last) focuses too much on activity tracking for older and/or out of shape people (rings) and is not good for people that require Garmin-esque fitness data.

Hi

For Pool Swim workouts, you can set the pool length to an accuracy of 1m or 1 yard.

To switch between yards and meters when setting the pool length, press firmly on the display.

thanks. not intuitive at all. is pool length a goal or length of the pool for lap counting and distance purposes? Does HR get monitored accurately and is there time series data that shows you a HR graph during swim?
