Great thing about the Ionic swim App, is that it can track time, lengths and even recognize the stroke being swam. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the tracking of my heart rate frequency in the final results.

To a swimmer, his/her pulse during training is really important.

After having swam 1000 m, I started doing some kicking drills. I did a total of 600 m, unfortunately, to my surprise none of it was tracked. At the end the total distance tracked by my ionic was 1000 m. I wish fitbit would include a swimming drill mode.

Currently heart rate is disabled durring a swim, this is probably because the water between the watch and skin affects the ability of the sensor to read the heart rate .
