WHat is the best swimming app to download on my phone that can take the data from fitbit and give me length results, time per lap or per 100m etc. The fitbit swimming exercise just tracks how long Iv been in the pool swimming.

@Matt3232 never heard of such app that would integrate with Fitbit. I know a few but they do integrate with Apple, Garmin or some WearOS watches (so Pixel Watch may be an option but that won't integrate with Fitbit ecosystem). Fitbit doesn't record enough data to provide better breakdown even if it's used by a thirdparty app so forget about stroke rate, SWOLF, moving time, etc. If you need better swim tracking then Fitbit is not an option 🤷

??? My Charge 5 records my swim; duration, distance, zone minutes, average pace, calories, and graphs heart rate.

I just get in the pool and start swimming, no button to push, it just knows I'm swimming...

@bruce0303 true but these are very basic (and often wrong) metrics. My Charge 6 detects swimming, too but no laps, no moving pace, no SWOLF, no stroke rate, no stroke count, no swim style and many more things that are available even in the cheapest trackers which can track swimming. Moreover, you can't see any data on the watch (even when using Swim from Exercise app it just shows useless timer).
