Rowing auto tracking- how to turn off?

ANSWERED

I recently upgraded to a Charge 6 when my 5 died a couple months ago. I'm a swimmer and have noticed that the 6 tries to auto recognize my swimming as rowing, which I then can't turn off from water mode, since it disables touch. I've tried to find the rowing option in the auto tracking settings, but it's not appearing in the list. Any other way to stop it from trying to track rowing while I'm swimming?

@Jpenge358   This is a different feature from the auto recognized activities that you control in the app;  This feature turns on the Exercise app on the Fitbit.  Open your Exercise app on your Charge 6 and select Rowing.  Swipe up and look for Auto Start.  Toggle it off.  Your Charge 5 had this feature in the Run shortcut.  Your Charge 6 has it in the Run, Walk, Hike, Rowing, Elliptical, and Spinning shortcuts.  You must turn them off in each shortcut if you want to turn them all off.
