Hi, after a few visits to the pool, I've noticed a bit of a discrepancy in the number of laps the lap counter gives me - I usually do either 20 lengths breast stroke, which the device generally counts correctly, or 10 lengths backstroke, which has varied from a length short, to five over compared to a manual count.

 

What's the best way of getting a consistent count? 

 

Thanks

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @JohnFair. I am sorry for the delayed response.

 

I appreciate your participation in the Forums and sharing your concern about a discrepancy in the number of laps you see when you use your device for swimming. Thank you for providing the additional details. Inconsistencies in your swim data may be caused by several factors and I recommend checking this help article with useful information about tracking your swims: How do I track my swims with my Fitbit device?

 

I'll be around if you need further assistance.
