I'm trying to use the app for in place swim. App wrongly measures stroke time. It says one stroke takes me 0.001 second. Taking this number into internal maths then comes with extreme speed or pace on main screen. Even when displaying pace, it is measured per km instead of per 100 meters as usual. As well the stroke length definition and stroke itself is a bit weird. For free style it looks like it counts each hand (left and right) as individual stroke, so 2 strokes actually in contrary with garmin standard swim activity which would take it for one stroke only. To make a bit more mess, while swimming breasts, strokes are counted indeed correctly but lenght per stroke defined in app is counted twice to calculate total swim lenght. I thought this app would be some added value for me as garmin doesn't support inplace swim by default, but can't see any advantage right now :(

looks like a great app but I'm not able to completely test it. I did One activity of 5 min and another activity of 6 min the next day. Both are not visible in my activities although I saved them before exit. Then it showed I already used more than 15 min. Furthermore Garmin Express reports that there are 2 invalid .FIT files I have somehow to remove from the watch... too bad, sounded promising to purchase.

Great app, how ever my G245 still doesn't show SWOLF after open swimming

Great app! I enjoy the accurate distance recorded on my Vivoactive 3 music. 10 / 10 would recommend, my friends also say it is better that the stock open water swim apps on their fancier Garmin watches.

Works great on my 245 music

Seems to be a good app, I tried to use it for open see swimming. It worked well on the screen on my vivoactive hr and is so configurable. Exactly what I need I will come with more feedback after I more test. Thank you!

Great app. Would be great to add a long-press action option for the main button for Lap/Rest mode on touchscreen watches. For example, the original Swimming app on my VA3 has long-press for stop and the second long-press for saving the activity. Also, I want an option to disable 3rd, 4th screens. Thank you!

Excellent application

GPS is correct for my open water swims, but the distance is way off. The worst was a log of 7500 yards for a 2000 yard swim.

I love the idea but not the execution. On Garmin 6 Pro it constantly gives me inaccurate data when swimming on 25m indoor pool. I'm disappointed so far.

Would like to know how I can get a more accurate picture of where I have swam. The Garmin map has me swimming across fields as well as the lake.

Seems to be a good app at the first glance and I tried to use it for stationary swimming. It worked very well on the screen on my Fenix 6x and it showed me a little bit more than 700 Meters within the 15 Minute eval period. Exactly what I need. Unfortunately in the iConnect App, the recorded activity appeared only with a distance of 175 Meters. Is there any problem with the Eval License, do I something wrong or is there a generell problem with calculating the distance? (If I use the "In-place swimming" the lap setting doesn't matter, right?

Great app, working fine with Vivoactive 3. Still on the trial mode. Will be awesome to see a tutorial on youtube.

Works pretty well for the most part. Unless there already is and I'm just really dumb I would love to have a rest timer like you do on lots of your other apps. Especially when you do water cardio or HIIT in the water it would be nice to have a countdown timer for exercise and then a countdown timer for rest

Good app but after updating to version 1.7 (on the VENU sw 5.0) the heart rate remains fixed on the screen; ahr and mhr work fine. Thank you

Already love this app, now with GLONASS and GALILEO support! I can not wait to try...

This is probably a good app, It looks good but there are no instructions that help you navigate the screens or the rest time, Or where it goes once you start swimming if you don’t lock it it defaults to a settings screen. It also gives yardage on the watch and then when you synch with the Garmin the yardage is half what the watch showed. It converts to meters but 520 yards is more than 240 meters. Love the main screen layout, but the accuracy is not very helpful.

I had SwimSport+ on G245 and I found tracklogs zigzac lines. I guess this kind is due to increasing GPS signals when swimming. But how developers actually measure distance cause these zigzac tracklogs are very long in reality ?

Originally gave this app 1 star due to inaccuracy, but after the developers reccomendation of setting data recording from auto to every second the accuracy was enormously improved and pretty much spot on using a vivoactive 4. It's good for the basics if you don't have open water tracking by default on your watch. I think the app could be better if it was improved with touch screen watches. I find even when I select screen lock the display switches away from the main one. But overall it does what I need.

Unfortunately, this app doesn't work for Vivoactive 3. There are zero instructions. Screens move during swim. Local screen on get the lock screen. Tapping watch in water doesn't move anything. No drill mode. Pushing the si gle watch button gets the exit/resume /save screen. Pushing it again you may get a lap timer or a rest timer. For the Vivoactive 3 seems like the built in pool swim despite that app's shortcoming gs, is the better app for lap swimming.

I'm disappointed in the app because it doesn't use heart rate values when calculating the number of calories burned. I used the app with a swimming pulse belt, but for nothing..

This app is not available on touchscreen devices, for a small drop of water is treated as a touch. you should use garmin pool swim app method(no touch screen input, just press to start/pause, long press to end session/save) Also, if you change the rest screen in the setup, it still does not apply. I've been waiting for the update for two months, and all you've fixed is the inside temperature display. very disappointed.

I want to try this app for stationary swimming, I train in a 2x4mtrs pool with spring laces tied to my waist, but I dont know how to fill in the settings, can you help me? Will this app work?

I am using forerunner 245 and with the app it works just fine tracking open water swimming

Very disappointing! Distances don’t match at all. Tracking very poor. An there is no documentary in understandable english. It would be nice if the developers would have spend some money for a professional translator.
