HiI hope someone can help. I am trying to use my Apple Watch ultra on open water swims. It’s recording the route on the map and calories, but not distance, stroke or pace. I have tried recalibrating the Watch but it made no difference. Thanks

Thanks for the quick response, Swimming freestyle for the most part. It may be a bit broken in this one as I was pausing occasionally to keep an eye on my swim partner. I did recalibrate today and did a straight swim no breaks, probably about 300 yards, but when I got back to shore found the message “it looks like you are swimming….” I recorded the last section but still no data. Ignore the last bit, I couldn’t stop the workout till I could get back to the villa. I’m going to try the same again tomorrow but make sure it’s started properly.
got todays swim full GPS of the route. It was only 10 minutes but if I had to guess it’s probably around 300 meters. I’m wearing fins and a snorkel, AW can’t figure that out can it and why would it make a difference to measuring distance
Are you swimming freestyle stroke?,looking at your map there is a lot of grey spots which is either a weak GPS signal or no signal at all,GPS cannot work under water which is the reason for the freestyle stroke so that the watch is above the water as much as possible.
