I purchased the Fitbit Versa yesterday and I am struggling where to set up my swimming. I have followed instructions by going into advanced settings but it does not show swimming. I then tried via the website and cannot find anything there either. Can someone please help me. Thank you.

Hi, if you tap on your watch, scroll to exercise, find swimming, tap the settings and this brings up a menu for you where you can set the length of the pool, track swim etc.... I've just set pool length and just sync when I get back to my phone ... hope that's what you mean .. good luck

Thanks for this. This is what I did but it didn't work. It was telling me I had swum 2 lengths when I had swum 6!

I just used my Versa to track swims today first time. I had a hard time shutting off the stopwatch after but finally figured it out. You have to press 2 buttons at the same time. Left button and lower right button. That will then return to clock face. Also, when I looked at Dashboard, my swim was not synced or tracked to show on my phone. Does anyone know about this? Also, the Versa didn't seem to track all my laps correctly.

I can find exercises, swimming but cannot bring up an option to set the length of the pool. Right now this watch does not seem very user friendly, much more frustrating than my Garmin swim.. I wanted a device that could track all exercise but not sure that Versa is good for me.

I don’t think it’s very accurate according to what I see in my dashboard. It counts steps but not walking. Also many exercises I have set up to automatically track and that’s not working either. Maybe I should have gone with Garmin or Apple. I’m disappointed as well.

Just set up my Versa and saw swimming as an exercise option.  Somehow I lost it on my exercises and don't know where/how to get it back.  I swim several times a week and wand to set up my laps/pool length etc.
