Hi @SaraQuilts  Something seems to have happened to the pool length! I cant find it either and it definitely used to be there! I have flagged a moderator and hopefully they can shed some light on it!

Welcome to the Community @SaraQuilts. Since you have an Inspire, it won't give you the option to set the pool length in your Inspire because it will be automatically tracked. You can learn more about it by checking this article: What are my options for swim tracking with my Fitbit device?

Hey @NellyG. Thanks for flagging this post. Can you let me know if you have a Fitbit Inspire too? 

Let me know how it goes. I'll be around if you need further assistance.

@SilviaFitbit I wearing the versa, but it seems like that app no longer supports this... please correct me if i'm wrong, but the only thing I seem to be able to change is my pace.

@kawaiiko Ther Versa is easy. Bring up the swim shorcut and tap the gear wheel in the top left and you can change it there.

@SilviaFitbit  I have an Inspire HR and I have now found how to change the pool length on the tracker. But what about all the flex 2 users?? They cant change pool length on the tracker (and I have a flex 2 as well)

Edited to add - Ahhh, on the account I have my flex 2 attached to I DO have the option to set the pool length in the app. How confusing!

Thanks for participating in the forums @kawaiiko. As mentioned by @NellyG, you will be able to set the pool length in your Versa's settings. 

I'm glad to hear that you found the setting in your Inspire HR and Flex 2@NellyG. 

I'll be around if you need further assistance.

The inspire (not HR) does not appear to track distance, it tracks lengths. 

In the third row of the Swim activity screen it has (literally) -- yd pool. This indicates to me that *someone* working on this app thinks it's supposed to be physically set somewhere. 

I bought this device specifically for swimming, and while I'm ok with it only tracking lengths (I can do simple math in my head), it's a rather simple addition.

A warm welcome to the Community @SunsetRunner. Thanks for sharing your experience with Inspire tracking your swimming. 

I appreciate your idea about adding distance to swimming because at the moment, it will only track lengths. You may want to post your idea in our Feature Suggestion board, those are reviewed by our team and the status will change based in Fitbit's plans. 

Don't hesitate to post if you have any questions!

I have an inspire but I can't seem to change the pool length. It has set automatically to 25m but I was swimming in a 50m pool. Is there a way to change this either on device or in app?

[SilviaFitbit]

@AliceIC Welcome to the Community. Thanks for the details mentioned. 

I'll be happy to help you sort this out. Since you have an Inspire, it will only have the automatic tracking and you won't be able to change the pool length. Learn more about it by checking this article: How do I track my swims with my Fitbit device? 

If you would like that this could be a possibility in the future, you may want to post your idea in our Feature Suggestion board. Those ideas are reviewed by our team and the status will change based in Fitbit's plans. 

I'll be around if you have any additional questions.
