Fitbit Luxe with GPS option to track swimming in open water

Please make the GPS tracking option available for open water swimming, and in fact, open water activities in general.
This is needed because:
as a para-triathlete, it is hugely frustrating that I can track cycling and (if I set the tracker to "run") the wheelchair bit but as soon I hit the lake all bets are off and I'm left trying to guestimate pace and distance. I know that GPS won't be as accurate "under water" (um, how deep do you think we swim?) but still...
I'd use this: Weekly
