Does anyone have a clue as to the algorithm for counting swimming laps? I don't expect it to count kicked lengths, but i was taken aback when it ended up counting only 1/3 swum laps. It's not counting strokes is it? I am still, in my dotage, a pretty decent swimmer and depending on the stroke and exhaustion level generally take between 8 to 13-14 strokes/length. Years ago i had a Speedo swim watch that was incredibly accurate: it counted lengths ...of each stroke ..
pretty much exactly and had interesting metrics such as district per stroke, avg time/per length per stroke., etc, And did not cost $200.00. I don't think it is counting turns which could work, although it would have to recognize both open and flip turns. Surely a sensor could recognize the push off a wall? Imagine my surprise when i found myself taking 6 minutes/lap.
