How do I track swimming with my Charge 3?

[Littlun1]

How does the Charge 3 track swimming? Certain strokes? I swam today but didn't show up in my activity.

Hi @Littlun1 I assume you left the Charge 3 to detect the swim. If you want you can use the Swim exercise shortcut and start and stop the activity manually (which I do as I find the time more accurate). Howevernit should autodetect if you are using any of the main 4 swim strokes crawl, breast stroke, back stroke and butterfly. If it isnt detectingmit try restarting the Charge 3 several times and see if it picks it up next time.

Restart your tracker
