Seeing msgs from 2016 that swim calories are not tracked correctly.   Any status?  It's  2024.  Still not tracking correctly.

Hi, @hase98, welcome to the community, you may find this article of interest How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity? - Fitbit Help Center which has a section on calorie burn. I'm a daily swimmer and have used numerous trackers & smartwatches (not just Fitbit), I do not see any major difference in the calorie burn for my typical swim. At present, I'm doing 3,750 meters in 95 minutes with a burn of about 750 -800 calories. In the final analysis, our scales are the ultimate test, are we losing or gaining weight as expected? In my case, the answer is clearly yes.

I hope this helps.

Cheers
