Pool length out of whack for Charge 5

[Gammapark]

My Charge 5 swimming function is stuck on a pool length of 75 YARDS (it's a 75 FOOT pool) so my distances are all incorrect

No way to change this, apparently its a software design flaw so I basically have to count laps in my head and then do the length calculation when I am done.  Too bad, I enjoyed using this tracker until the mobile application got updated (crappy home screen now) and now the pool data is wonky.  Looking into a Garmin or Apple Watch as it appears FitBit/Google don't have a fix coming any time soon.  

If anyone has found a way to hack this thing and fix the pool length, would love to know before I throw this thing in the trash.

Hi, @Gammapark, welcome to the community, you can adjust the pool length on your Charge 5.

From the clock screen swipe right or left to exercise> touch swim, see the small chevron under the start arrow, swipe up to & touch the pool length (which you presently report as 75 yards) you can now slide your finger down to a new setting of 25 yards (75feet), touch the 25 to select it and now return to the clock screen.

I hope this helps, let us know how you get on.

Cheers

Thank you! Now we just need the mobile application spruced up. Have a great day

Hi @Gammapark, I'm pleased you sorted that out, incidentally if you think my earlier advice merits it you can make it "Choose as the best answer" so other visitors can benefit. If you would like to put forward feedback about the Fitbit app you can do so at  Fitbit Community, this is closely monitored.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers
