How do you pause a swim on the Charge 5 (to rest or clean goggles)  I don't want the counter to still be ticking away.  Also finding the double tap quite annoying - any tips?

Hi, @Sueswimmer, it's been a while since I was using my Charge 5 in the pool so I've just had a close look at your issue on my Charge 5. It looks as if we can't "Pause" the exercise. If you take a look at "Walk" for instance you'll see that once you touch the start arrow & get going swipe up & you are offered "Pause" under which there is a "Finish" Icon giving you the option to Pause or end your exercise. In the "Swim," you only get "Finish", if "Pause" was going to be an option I would expect it to mirror the "Walk" arrangement. Double tapping complicates things as well. I did look to see if there might be an "Auto Pause" but can't find anything.

Cheers
