After a year of using Swimming App Pro for OWS I’ve decided to give this app a try. Overall I’m positively surprised, the distance on my fr245 was pretty spot on, although I gained 35m while taking a short rest at a turning point.

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.
