I bought an inspire three predominantly for tracking my swimming lengths. However I'm seeing mixed messages online some referring to it no longer counting swim lengths after some sort of update? I know it will tell me the distance in yards on my app afterwards but I really would have liked to see how many lengths I'm swimming whilst in the water . it tells me the time I have swum but I can work that out by looking at the clock! Any advice gratefully received

Hi @AlisonBennett ! 
Welcome to the Community !

I appreciate your message regarding the swim tracking with your Inspire 3. 
Your Inspire 3 track swim lengths, duration, distance and pace, as explained in the following help article : What are my options for swim tracking with my Fitbit device?

You can find the detailed information about this topic here : How do I track swims with my Fitbit device?

Hi, @AlisonBennett, The only data you can get on your wrist while swimming is elapsed time, you need to start the swim exercise on your Inspire 3. If you rely on auto-recognize you will not see anything. The last Fitbit device to Display distance on our wrists was the Sense which is no longer produced.
