@Riddley_Walker  A warm welcome to our Community! Thank you for your inquiry. In general you can start playing your music and then start recording your exercise. This should let you do both but I have only experience this with running and walking. Please try these suggestion and let me know if this works with Swimming.

 

I look forward to your update.

Thank You for your feedback Alvaro!

I am using JBL waterproof earbuds:

?

I wanted to make sure the earbuds were not at a low charge before writing
back. I now think the trouble may be with the earbuds. They turn
themselves on and off continuously the minute they hit the water. Having
said that, I have to stop the swim app in order to go back to the music
controls. It would be a nice feature if the swim app, or any of the other
apps for that matter, could be put in background mode while one is
fiddling with the music controls (such as volume and and playlist choices).

I am also finding that I am often losing a lap on the lap count sometimes.
I have the pool length set correctly. I also wish there was a lap time
option. I'm curious as to the signal the Versa uses to determine that a
lap has been swum - can you tell me?

Thanks,
Riddley
