Cardio Load Not Tracking During Swimming

[indyrocker21]

Hi! I’ve done some research on these forums, and every swimmer complains about their device not tracking Cardio Load during swimming workouts.

Since Cardio Load doesn’t track on devices during swimming exercises due to the water, would you consider an “Add Cardio Load Minutes” option to the App, so we swimmers can estimate and add our earned Cardio Load based on length of swim via yards, time, and/or heart rate, if the device records heart rate during the exercise?

This will help us be able to track our progress more effectively. It’s very disheartening to not reach our goals on the App even though we are truly exercising while swimming, but there are no Cardio Load points earned due to tracking issues.

If it matters, I have a Versa 4. Thanks for considering this option to satisfy your swimming community of customers!

Also, I love my Versa 4 and hope it will continue to work well for me!!

@indyrocker21 That is a great idea! The best place to post suggestions is the Product Feedback forum. The developers read those posts to get ideas of what features people would like to see.
