ioncic not tracking pool walking laps

[James.reply]

Part if my swimming workout is water running laps.  the Ionic counts the swimming laps ok, but once I start water jogging the lap and distance counters do not record.  any ideas that may help?

Please dont ask the same question twice as it is against Community Guidelines. I have just answered you where you asked in the other thread. Here is my reply

Walking in the water is not swimming. The movements you are making walking are outside the parameters it uses to recognise swim, so it cant recognise it as swim. It is too short to be recognised as a walk, and as your walking movements are different in water to what they are on land it probably wouldnt know what you are doing. It may or may not pick up the steps - not sure on that.
