You cant. GPS doesnt work under water, so the option is not there.

A warm welcome to the Community @dorst622! Just as our dear council @NellyG mentioned, when you're swimming there isn't a GPS option. You can learn more about it by checking this article How do I track swims with my Fitbit device?.

I hope there is such feature for tracking swimming with gps. Well, I don't swim under water, but just on\in water. My arms will be rotating. Gps should work right?
