Swimming App Professional

At best, I've found that it can only be used as an indication of where you have been swimming. For example, last nights swim of 1km was reported at 1.5km (Connect IQ) and 1.9km (Garmin data). Looking at the track, the GPS points are all over the place even though the watch was reporting a good GPS signal. It's a real shame as I like the look and feel of the app. I'll still use it for recording where I've been, but not for distance.

Nice Beta version app - loaded it yesterday on my Vivoactive 3 and went for a lake swim. Had no problem running the app - was also happy to see even my heart rate data was tracked without having to use a chest strap. Looking forward to taking the Premium version for a swim.

Nice to track swimming in open water. But unfortunately the distance is 0,0km... Others have written the same.

Gracias por el esfuerzo de hacer una app para la natación en aguas abiertas pero no mide bien, se para, continúa. Es un poco desastre

First of all thanks for starting finally an open water swimming app compatible forthe Vivoactive 3. Really appreciated, but unfortunately I need to give only a rating of 3 as for a lot of people, the distance is not working as one of the most important features needed. For 400 m shown 2m....keep up the good work, hope the next version works better.

Great but the GPS data is too spikey - the filters should filter out the arm motion. Nearly there!!

I appreciate the effort that's gone into making this but unfortunately does not work as desired. Does not track distance at all (recorded 98m on a 400m loop)

Loaded easily into vivoactive 3. Distance out slightly. But very useful app.

Does not get the distance right! I swam an openwater race of 3000m but the app showed a distance of 4120m. In my view that kind of deviation is not in an acceptable margin!

Die einzige App, die ich für Freiwasser gefunden habe. Mir fehlt die Möglichkeit einzelne Runden zu trennen. Es wäre schön, die linke Taste als Laps Taste benutzen zu können. Ausserdem ist Speichern bzw Pause nur am Touchscreen möglich, das ist mit nassen Fingern sehr schwer. Hier wäre die Eingabe über eine Taste besser. Ich benutze vivoactive HR.

Path and distance recorded well. GPS dropped for part of the 2 swims, giving unreasonable avg times. Perhaps filter for this? Temp recorded was 71 and 77. May need to sample and average more points.

Great little app, does all I need when open water swimming.

Graet app, unfortunately the fonts are a bit small but that's probably my eyes I have the same problem with a lot of apps still it would be nice if there was an option to have larger fonts. Thank you for your efforts.

App syncs well and is easy to use but GPS is extremely inaccurate

Downloaded but it won't load onto my phone. Is there an approval required?

Distance seems not very accurate on my FR235. Still happy with the app, but it would be good if it would be right

GPS signal still a little spotty but good approximation. Switches screens randomly? Also the font on the main screen is way too small

Setup and start very quick but GPS measurement appears wildly inaccurate :(

Hi! Swimrun support would be really good, i.e. unlimired number of repeaded swim + run intervals saved as one track. Reasonable gps track an time is most important.

So far, everything works perfectly, it's a very good app, thanks.

Distance calculated by the app is very different by the distance recorded on the GARMIN application on phone. For instance swim 1700 in the watch / recorded 2100 km but indicate 1700 GARMIN iq. Is the gps calculation reliable ?

I tested the app today on my Forerunner 245. I swam a short distance in the sea using a swim buoy and my old Forerunner 220 attached to it in running mode. Here are the distance results: F220 - 420m on Garmin Connect F245 - 421m on SAP F245 - 452m on Garmin Connect F245 - 409m on Strava The F245 (theoretically) in GPS + GALILEO mode recorded a few less gps points than the F220 but the final two distances are pretty close. The two map tracks I’ve got at the end have a few points that don’t match exactly. Nevertheless I’m so far pretty happy with this app, being an occasional swimmer. I’m not quite sure if the counted calories are spot on and there’s room for improvement also from the overall UI standpoint. Good job!

The settings are not transfered to the App. The lap Count do not work. The pool length is not right. It always sets to individuelle length and then in yards. The click is set to meter

Downloaded this a few weeks ago and used it on my Vivoactive 3 yesterday for a swim in the Gulf of Mexico. The app worked great and was very accurate. All aspects functioned as advertised and I really liked the results. Couldn’t be more pleased!

Good application.As reported by many users and the developer itself the saved distance in Garmin activity is not accurate. Can't find the original activity metrics in ConnectIQ as claimed by developer
