Guess swim duration/number of laps

Status: Not currently planned Submitted by on ‎02-18-2018 10:26

I've an Alta which is not waterproof. When I go for a swim, I tend to take it off and keep it in a locker. I also tend to swim in the same pool.

If I log the date of a swim, would it be possible to generate a rough guess of the time spent swimming based upon the time my fitbit records no movement? This would enable the duration of swim to be pre-filled in the log and reduce the amount of time it takes to manually enter the data.

Would it also be possible to estimate the number of laps based upon this time based upon my average number of laps/min?

Thanks
