Which Garmin Watches Can Record Swimming Activities?

IMPORTANT: Before engaging in water-based activities, check the Specifications and Device Care section of the watch's owner's manual. Avoid pressing buttons when the watch is wet or submerged. If the watch gets wet, it should always be wiped dry before attempting to change settings or modes. If you are wearing a Garmin watch while swimming, be sure to thoroughly rinse the watch with fresh water after each use.
For more information on suitable and unsuitable activities, see the Water Ratings page on the Garmin website.

Garmin® rigorously tests for water resistance by subjecting devices to various water pressure levels. While a majority of Garmin’s watches can withstand some water exposure, only devices with a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 meters) or higher are designed to withstand usage while surface swimming without resulting in damage.

The Pool Swim activity profile can be used when recording swims in a pool. The Open Water Swim profile uses GPS and can be used when swimming in an outdoor body of water such as an ocean, lake, or river. Choose an option below to reveal what watches are compatible with the selected swim activity profile(s).
