Hi, @Abdom, welcome, this article may offer you a way forward How do I track my swims with my Fitbit device? Effectively there are two options, you can just get in the pool and go, after about 15 minutes your "Sense" will auto-recognize and record your swim (do set the pool length first) Alternatively you can start it yourself swipe left from the clock face>exercises>swim> you will see a little chevron at the bottom of the screen, swipe up to configure the display as you desire & set the pool length>return to the start arrow & touch> a countdown circle completes when water lock is engaged and there is a vibration. Off you go. On completion of an auto-recognize swim there's nothing to do, just get out of the pool and sync to the app when you get home. If you started the exercise yourself squeeze the side button twice to get a screen offering "Finish" and "Pause"> touch the icon you need. Note as the screen is wet you may have to try this a couple of times, after "finish" you will see a screen "Way to go" with stats.

I hope this is helpful but if you are still stuck please post here again.

Cheers

Hi, @Abdom, I'm pleased you've got it working, swimming is the best exercise by far. If you consider my answer merits it would you mark it as "Best answer" so others can locate it quickly?
