Can the pool swim notify swimmer when goal has been reached?

I find I easily loose track of the number of laps I swim, and setting a time or distance goal does not seem to notify me when they have been achieved. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Hi Michelle T18,

:( I tried the adjusted settings this morning without notification success. I am beginning to realize that the activity of swimming forces the watch to be worn a little to loosely to be able to feel the haptic in the water. I have a second watch band which I will switch to on the next swim, and see if I can tighten it enough to be comfortable when swimming. I will hopefully remember to post the results. ;)

Thanks for the advice.

Hi there L500,

We understand you want to receive a notification when achieving your workout goal, and we'd like to share a resource that can help.

Check it out here: End and review your workout on Apple Watch

Specifically, the information below may help:

"End the workout on Apple Watch

When you reach your goal, you hear a tone and feel a vibration. If you’re feeling good and want to continue, go ahead—your Apple Watch continues to collect data until you tell it to stop."

You can learn more about setting the goal here: Start a workout on Apple Watch

Cheers!

Thank you so much for the reply. When I walk or run the haptic alerts me to the km markers. In the pool I am not feeling the haptic, but I may need to increase its sensitivity. Is there any other advice?

Success! Changing the band, and wearing it a wee bit tighter, I did feel the haptic notify me when the desired distance was achieved. Thank you to everyone who contributed. All suggestions were read and tried. I greatly appreciate the support.
