Been swimming on a regular basis, pool is 33.3 yards. I am doing 50 lengths. Fitbit states im doing 1394 yards???

50 x 33.3=1665 yards a discrepancy of 271 Yards

 

can anyone explain, or how do i adjust my fitbit to monitor correct distance?

Hi there, @Coops_1960. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your swim distance. 

Have you checked the units of measurement? To start the pool length is set in meters. To change the unit of measurement to yards for swims, see How do I change the units of measurement in my Fitbit account?

Hope this helps.

Hi there, @Coops_1960. Thanks for stopping by in the Community Forums. 

You should be able to set the pool length for your Fitbit device by following the steps you mentioned above:

  1. On your device, open the Exercise app Swim.
  2. Swipe up, and tap Pool Length.

If after selecting Swim you don't see the Pool Length option, please attach an image of what you see for further investigation.
