After a swim I want to know my splits for each 100 yards (I typically swim 1,000 yards). When I go to the app the data shows the distance, lengths, time and pace per hundred. But it also shows that I used a backstroke and the calories consumed for each 100 yard increment. I don't care about that. I want to change the swim type to freestyle and show my time for each 100 yard increment, I don't care about the calories. Does anyone know how I can make that change, if I can?

@Tommiller you're out of luck. This is how swimming is implemented. Same here, regardless the stroke I swim it's always recognized as backstroke. There are no other metrics but calories in laps view. If you need watch for swimming then Fitbit isn't it. It's probably worst implementation of swim tracking I have seen so far. As if whoever made those design decisions had nothing to do with swimming.
