I swim in a 25yd pool. My routine is 6 series of 300 yds (1800yds total). Each serie is 100yds backstroke, 100yds breast, 100yds crawl. By my count it's 12 pool lengths per series, total 72 lengths. At the end of each length I do a flip turn.

 

I swam a couple times with the ionic; I started the "swim" exercise (didn't rely on auto-detect) and I have the pool length correctly set up. I notice that the ionic undercounts the lengths as well as the total distance. Did anyone else experience the same and is there a workaround.

 

For instance this morning, I paused after each 2 series (24 lengths) to check the length and resumed. The final totals reported by the ionic were only 1350yds (expected 1800) and I don't recall the number of lengths but it was also under the expected 72.

I am having the opposite problem my iconic is counting more laps than I physically swim.

I am having the same issues... not tracking anything in the swim exercise mode??? Not happy with a $260 price tag?

Fixed. I had to go into my app account and adjust the exercise shortcuts. Mine had somehow reverted back to manual.
