    Custom workouts for something other than running?

    Is it possible to create custom workouts for activities other than running? Would be especially useful for swimming so that I don't have to remember every set but can simply check the watch. I could also use (free) third party apps if there is any. Many thanks in advance!

    I've been talking frequently about swimming in another thread on Exercise. I thought I'd have a dedicated thread for swimming. Anyone use paddles? When I first saw them, I thought of them as cheating. ;) But I understand they are good for developing strength. However, I'm also concerned about...
