Swimming with Charge 5 doesn't record Cardio load

[Balsicas]

Why does my swimming not record as cardio load even though I have recorded zone minutes

Moderator Edit: Clarified subject.

Hello @Balsicas 

As noted on this help page (<-- click link):

Cardio load doesn’t accumulate during swimming exercises because heart rate tracking is disabled.

My heart rate is tracked during swimming as that is how my zone minutes
record

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @Balsicas. I'll be happy to assist with your Cardio load inquiry.

The optical HR sensor does not record data when the device is in swim mode because refractions from the water can impact the heart rate reading and that's why Cardio load doesn’t accumulate during swimming exercises.
