Hi, @DawnRickster, welcome to the community, you might find this article of interest. I swim about 56 lengths of a 25-meter pool each day and the lap count is rarely more than one length out. You do not mention how you record your swim, there are two options. Swipe left to "exercise" then "swim" then the "Go arrow" and on completion touch the side button twice to get "finish". Frankly, I find this all a bit of a faff (I wear glasses) and just allow the Sense to auto-recognize the swim. Nothing to do to start or finish the record. The results are very similar. I have access to "Swim Tag" at my pool which is much more sophisticated producing "Swolf" data in an app, it often miscounts the number of lengths by 1 so miscounts are not unique to Fitbit.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

I use the exercise “swim” and it’s 25 meter pool 👍
