The last few days whenever I'm in the car for more than 20 min my Fitbit auto registers a "Swim".  Is it because it's so darn humid out right now?  I really don't know any other explanation...

@LForrette   Once I got a bike ride while driving over a bridge.  I decided that there was something about the car motion/vibration/whatever that got picked up by the accelerometer and sensed as a bike ride.  The accelerometer sees what it sees.  Another user got a swim recorded folding laundry.  I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your device.  I recommend turning auto detection off for swimming.

 

Tap on your exercise tile, then the gear icon.  Go down to swimming and you can turn off the auto detection.
