@Pootledox   This experience you are describing is a device issue, not an app issue.  What Fitbit do you use?  An activity is auto-recognized when your Fitbit senses movement that fits into one of its algorithms.  It sounds like you are doing some type of activity has movements close enough to swimming.  Sometimes I get a walk recorded as elliptical.

You can always turn swimming off as being recognized.  Tap on your Exercise tile, then the gear icon.  Tap on Swimming, then toggle the Auto-recognize to off.

Hi it’s the Fitbit versa lite

Thank you I’ll do that. I can’t figure what it is that’s similar to swimming.

Thank you

@Pootledox   If you look at the exercise details of this bogus swim, you should see when it was recorded.  It should show details.  You might be able to figure out what you were doing.

The only really weird exercise I got was a 25 minute bike ride that was part of a 2 hour car ride.

I am also moving this thread to the Versa forum, just in case other users have the same issue.
