FITBIT SENSE DOES NOT ACCURATELY COUNT SWIMMING LAPS

[GrammieR]

I swim in an indoor 25 metre pool (also checked it in an outdoor pool) but my Fitbit Sense does not accurately count the number of 25 metre laps.  Can I make it count the laps accurately?

Hi @GrammieR usually when the lap count is off in swimming it is because of user error. Try restarting your Sense anyway. But the think I found most helpful when trying to get my swim laps accurate was modifying the way I made my turns. Basically you need to let the wat h know that you have finished one lap and started the next. What worked best for me was a pose in the arm movements at the end of the lap. How you do this doesn't seem to matter. You can stop briefly or you can keep mo ing, but you need to pause your arms. Either a push off the wall or a tumble turn works, but just briefly pause your arms. You can keep Kicking though. Good luck with it

Thank you for the idea - I'll give it a try. Cheers.
