First Steps

Charge Your Device

Place Vimo Swim on its charging dock. A full charge takes about 1.5 hours. While docked, the device shows a battery screen with the charge level and the estimated time to full.

Hold the left button for about a second to wake the device. A short chirp tells you that you can let go. You'll see the Vimo logo with the firmware version, then your device name (Vimo-XXXX). On first boot, the device asks you to pick your language.

Select Program

Press any button to open the menu. Open Training, scroll with the left/right buttons, and press the middle button to open a program. Tempo, the classic metronome, is first on the list and the best place to start.

Set Tempo

On the Tempo screen, use the left/right buttons to adjust the tempo in 0.01s steps. The default setting is 1.30 seconds. Hold a button to scroll fast. It speeds up further after 2 seconds. You can change the value while the beat is running, too.

Start Training

Press the middle button to start and stop the metronome. The beat is delivered as beep, flash, or haptic, whichever signal type you've selected. Double-click the middle button to leave the program.

Basic Controls

Previous menu item, lower value. Hold for 3 seconds on the Home screen or in a menu to power off. Also wakes the device from off.

Select, start/stop the program. Hold for 2 seconds inside a program to open Continue / Settings / Exit. Double-click to leave the program.

Next menu item, higher value. Hold any value button to auto-repeat. After 2 seconds it accelerates.

Every menu ends with a Back item. Use it to go up one level. The left button does not go back, it scrolls the list.

Tips for First Use

The device remembers your last settings when you power it back on, so you don't need to reconfigure each time.

Pick the signal that matches your session: haptic for noisy pools, beep for open water, or flash when you want the longest battery life. A charge lasts 9-12 hours of active training.

The screen turns off during training to save power. This is normal behavior. The beat keeps going. Press any button to wake the screen.
