Swimming

The Suunto Aqua headphones are waterproof down to 5 meters for 2 hours. Thus, you can wear your headphones and listen to music during swimming and snorkeling. For information about the offline music mode for swimming, see Offline music.

In addition, you can use the headphones to track your swimming if the swimming mode is activated. When swimming mode is activated, the sound mode changes to underwater mode automatically.

It is possible to track your swimming by using only the headphones or the headphones connected with your Suunto watch. If you connect your Suunto watch with your Suunto Aqua headphones, you will see the data the headphones collect during your swimming on your watch. In the exercise summary, you can check, for example, the duration of the glide phases, data regarding your head's position and breathing, etc. For more information, see Suunto app.
