Yesterday I swam 34 lengths and had active zone minutes recorded 45 in cardio and peak, but it didn’t count as exercise in the exercise tracker.  Does anybody know why that is?

Hi, @Gollach, welcome to the community, you may be interested in this article How do I track swims with my Fitbit device? You will see that you do not accumulate "Steps" when recording "Swimming". My experience is that you may, try both methods of starting your swim.

In the Inspire 3, you only get elapsed time on your wrist when swimming (started on the device, not auto-recognize) To see all the data you'll need to view the Fitbit app on your phone.

I hope this helps but please post here again if you are still stuck.

Cheers
