Feedback about the Swimming feature.

[margoq]

The Swim log feature is heavily underdeveloped and leaves a lot to be desired, however there are a couple of significant issues that I think really should be addressed as soon as possible:

1) Distance log. I understand that measuring the correct swim distance is not easiest, so I count my lengths anyway - however - in the app, when I go to the option of adjusting the distance, I can only do so to a tenth of a km - i.e. 0.7km, 0.8km etc. A typical pool is 25m and so I would often end up with actual distance of something like 750m, 925m and so on, but cannot input this level of accuracy. Knowing my exact lengths is rather important feature and having to remember that I have done, say, 850 rather than 800m kinda defeats the purpose of having the log to start with.  

2) Calorie count. For swimming fitbit assumes some ridiculously low burn rates and often averages to burning 1 or 2 calories per minute - which is less even than my BMR, i.e. apparently I would burn more calories by just doing nothing. For example - after swimming 1km, fitbit tells me I've only burnt 66calories. This seriously affects the usefulness of the calorie tracker, which I also rely on for my weight loss goals. (not to mention the calorie deficit goals are utterly wrong anyway if you are using SI units)
