Swim tracking inaccurate

[JamboLido]

Hiya,

I havev a Charge 5 which never gets my swim right. I just did 1000m in a 50m outdoor pool. As usual, it recognised it as a 25m pool and logged a shorter distance (650m). Anyone know a way to get it to work more accurately? Thanks.

Hi @JamboLido As far as the Poole length goes.change it in the App to another length, then restart your phone and change it to 50m and see if that fixes  it. 

To get the correct number of lengths swum is usually to do with how you swim the lap ends. With a lot of experimentation I have found you need a distinct pause in your arm movements at the end of the lap. It doesn't seem to matter what sort of turn you do, but the fitbit must notice the cessation of arm movements or it thinks you are still on the same lap. Good luck with it.
