Hey @Jadefrank how are  you doing? Welcome to the Fitbit Community.

 

Thanks for reporting that your Inspire HR is tracking swimming details when  you're performing other activities.

 

Most Fitbit devices automatically recognize and record high-movement activities—such as walk, run, or swim—at least 15 minutes long through the SmartTrack feature. See basic stats about your activity in Fitbit Today on certain Fitbit devices, or sync your device and review your exercise history in the Fitbit app. It might be that your Fitbit is misinterpreting some of the movements you're at work. 

 

In this case, I'd suggest to restart  your Fitbit and turn off the auto-recognition with these instructions:

 

To adjust your exercise recognition settings:

  • FITBIT APP
    1. Tap the Today tab User-added image, then tap the Exercise tile User-added image.
    2. Tap the gear icon User-added image.
    3. Tap an exercise, and adjust the duration or turn off Auto-recognize.

 

Keep me posted on the resolution.

Thanks for the reply but I don't have this problem when I"m wearing this on my non-dominant wrist. I like the auto-recognition. This seems to be a bug that FitBit should fix instead of telling users to use a very helpful feature.

Excuse me. Sorry about that, I meant to tell users to not use a very helpful feature. Thanks.

I wear mine on my non dominate hand and still it tracks swimming.  I'm a cashier and sometimes bag g groceries so maybe those movements make the fitbit think I'm swimming
