See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
Sizing the Heart Rate Monitor
Before your first swim, take some time sizing the heart rate
monitor. It should be tight enough to stay in place when pushing
off the pool wall.
• Select a strap extender, and attach it to the elastic end of the
heart rate monitor.
The heart rate monitor comes with three extender straps to fit
different chest sizes.
TIP: The medium strap extender works for most shirt sizes
(from medium to extra-large).
• Put on the heart rate monitor backward to easily adjust the
slider on the strap extender.
• Put on the heart rate monitor forward to easily adjust the
slider on the heart rate monitor.
Putting On the Heart Rate Monitor
You should wear the heart rate monitor directly on your skin, just
below your sternum.

sending data.
Pairing the Heart Rate Monitor with Your
Device
Before you can pair the heart rate monitor with your device, you
must put on the heart rate monitor.
Pairing is the connecting of ANT+

compatible device. See your owner's manual.
• For most Garmin compatible devices, bring the device within
3 m of the heart rate monitor and use the device menu to pair
manually.
• For some Garmin compatible devices, bring the device within
1 cm of the heart rate monitor to pair automatically.

After you pair the first time, your Garmin compatible device
automatically recognizes the heart rate monitor each time it is
activated.
Heart Rate While Swimming
The heart rate monitor records and stores your heart rate data
while swimming. Heart rate data is not visible on compatible
Garmin devices while the heart rate monitor is underwater.
You must start a timed activity on your paired Garmin device to
view stored heart rate data later. During rest intervals when out
of the water, the heart rate monitor sends your average and
maximum heart rate for the previous interval, and your real-time
heart rate, to your Garmin device.
Your Garmin device automatically uploads stored heart rate data
when you save your timed swim activity. Your heart rate monitor
must be out of the water, active, and within range of the device
(3 m) while data is uploaded. Your heart rate data can be
reviewed in the device history and on your Garmin Connect
account.
Data Storage
The heart rate monitor can store up to 20 hours of data in a
single activity. When the heart rate monitor memory is full, your
oldest data is overwritten.
You can start a timed activity on your paired Garmin device, and
the heart rate monitor records your heart rate data even if you
move away from your device. For example, you can record heart
rate data during fitness activities or team sports where watches
cannot be worn. Your heart rate monitor automatically sends
your stored heart rate data to your Garmin device when you
save your activity. Your heart rate monitor must be active and
within range (3 m) of the device while data is uploaded.
Troubleshooting
Tips for Using the HRM-Swim
• Adjust the tightness of the heart rate monitor and strap
extender if the heart rate monitor slides down your chest
when pushing off the pool wall.
• Stand up between intervals so that the heart rate monitor is
out of the water to see your heart rate data.
• Make sure your Garmin device supports heart rate while
swimming.
