Hello there, @StaceyBee. Thanks for stopping by in the Fitbit Community Forums and sharing the details about the inconvenience with your Charge 5.

Your Charge 5 does this because your arm movement creates motion patterns that it "sees" as swimming. In order to avoid this from happening again, please tap on your Exercise Tile on the Fitbit app > tap on the gear icon in the upper right > scroll down to and tap on Swimming in the list of auto recognized activities > move the Auto-recognize toggle to off.
