Hi @Sandraanderton, welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks a million for all the information that you've shared in your post. 

Please note that your Fitbit device records your swims regardless of your swimming ability, meaning you can swim about 6 to 12 lengths of the pool without stopping to rest. If you’re unable to swim this distance, you may notice inconsistencies in your swim data including some lengths not counted. As your swimming ability improves, you’ll likely notice fewer inconsistencies in your data. 

Remember always check the pool length information, to ensure it is accurate: 

• On your device, open the Exercise app > Swim.
• Swipe up and tap Pool Settings.

SmartTrack automatically recognizes and records high-movement activities at least 15 minutes long. I'd suggest to confirm the amount of time required for the activity to be recorded.

It can be changed on your Fitbit App:

1. On the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the Exercise tile to open your exercise history.
2. Tap the gear icon 
3. Tap an exercise and adjust the duration or turn off Auto-recognize.

I'd like to mention that, if the same activity gives you a certain amount of lengths one day and fewer the next day, remember that the intensity of exercise is key. Often what seems like the exact same amount of effort over the same distance in fact differs slightly enough to change your number of total lengths.

Let me know how it goes, I'll be around!
