I asked the swimmer to try the new workout "Pool Swimming" of Apple Watch Series 2

Even in the pool, "I am not conscious" is an evolution riot.

Apple Watch was reborn as the second generation at the September event.The new model named Series 2 is the newly added built -in GPS and water resistance.

Both are functions that can be used in the workout that Apple Watch supports, but there are many people who have not seen pool swimming that makes use of water resistance?It is a bit scary to add Apple Watch to water for a long time, even if it is said that it is water -resistant up to 50 meters.

So, this time, Junichi Yamamoto, a coach at the Triathlon School, Aslonia Triathlon Academy (ATA), swim in Apple Watch Series 2, and listen to that impression (I can't swim separately.well…!!).

Then, let's Swimming !!

When swimming, first launch a workout app on Apple Watch and select Pool Swimming.Start with the goal settings such as the length of the pool, the time of swimming, and distance.You can also choose free not to set the goal.

The Apple Watch with water -resistant performance can display the screen even in water.It is natural, but when I actually looked it, I was a little impressed.What surprised me was that Apple Watch continues to measure heart rate in this state.

When you start a pool swimming workout, Apple Watch cannot be operated in this state because it locks the screen to prevent incorrect operation.To operate, turn the digital crown after taking it out of the water ...

The animation is displayed with the sound of "bee bee" and the lock is unlocked.This bee beep is a sound for vibrating the speaker itself and draining water to prevent the speaker from the speaker part of the Apple Watch.I see, you can think well.

By the way, Mr. Yamamoto swims.It's natural, but it's very good (small average feeling).Swim in various swimming methods such as crawl, backstroke, butterfly.

When you finish swimming, the result is to the Apple Watch at hand.What is noteworthy is where you can see how swimming you were swimming.It's amazing how to use a motion sensor.

This is displayed on the linked iPhone side.Since it remains in various records such as distance and time, it seems that your exercise is well recorded and rewarding.Mr. Yamamoto who swam was satisfied, saying, "I have to remember how many times I turned on training, but if I put on the Apple Watch, I will record everything so I can concentrate on swimming."He told me.

Record a day without being conscious

What impressed me when I talked to Mr. Yamamoto who finished swimming was, "You don't have to be aware of Apple Watch."Don't be aware of applying an Apple Watch because you exercise, enter the pool, and don't be aware of applying water -resistant Apple Watch, and the Apple Watch as a watch you usually wear will record your workout.Furthermore, even when you are not swimming in the pool, we are walking, running, and exercising in your life.The Apple Watch on the arm is also measured as exercise and records "your daily activity", so you just have to concentrate on that workout and enjoy it.Don't be aware of anything.

So, if you have Apple Watch Series 2, you should definitely enjoy pool swimming, but in fact there are very few pools where you can swim with Apple Watch.This time, at the ATA school that cooperated, Mr. Yamamoto's understanding could be understood with Apple Watch, but in many pools, swimming with precious metals etc. is hit by a person.It is very difficult because it is dangerous.

I think there are many people who go to the weekend pool and exercise, so please take a look, please take a look.
