How do I add "Swimming" to Blaze?

[Poppy143]

Hi, does anyone know how to add swimming as an activity to my Fitbit Blaze? I can’t find it anywhere.

Thank you

Swim is listed in the exercise shortcuts under settings. You can have up to 7 so you might need to Uncheck something to add it.

But Blaze is not water proof and should not be worn swimming

It's great to see you around @Poppy143 and @WendyB thanks for stopping by.

As mentioned by our friend, we don't recommend swimming with your Blaze since it is not water proof. You can always manually log the activity "Swimming" by doing the following from your Fitbit app:

1. From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the + icon > Track Exercise
2. Tap Log.
3. Tap a recent activity or search for an exercise type.
4. Enter the activity details and tap Add.

Let me know if you need anything else.

I probably didn’t make myself clear , I have no intention of swimming with the Fitbit on I just want to know how to add it as an activity . I’ve tried the app and the actual device and it appears you can’t add it as an activity, hence me asking on this forum

Kind regards

Hi, @Poppy143, you can't add swimming to the Blaze as it is not waterproof and therefore  cannot be used to track swimming.

In this case the solution is to log your swim manually on the app.  Just click on the exercise screen in the app (that's the one that is a running man inside a shape -- e.g a pentagon).  On the next screen click on stop watch top right and choose "log previous".  In the search box start to type "swim" and it should come up.  Then fill in the details of your swim and be sure to save.

If any of this is unclear, please post again letting us know if you are using Android, iOS or Windows app and someone can guide you through more specifically.
