      @leafs93 sorry to hear that. Then the SR 0 swim distance but is not reproducing exactly the same on the SV.

      Here’s how my custom swim pool screen looks like and I got both fields updating distance as I went. You don’t need to wait to be in the pool, you can try simulating the stroke while on the couch and see.

        @herlas thanks for this. I did the exact format as you have shown, but the 0 distance still appeared. Sigh… just hope they fix it. Anyways I am using wahoo rival , so be it if they don’t fix it, just that I feel it is just not a complete watch now

            @ahmetaktan this is being investigated, in the meanwhile a workaround seems to be to wait 7-10 seconds at the end before ending the activity.

                @isazi tried this over the weekend. Waited more than 10s before ending workout, but still showing zero distance on watch

                  @leafs93 okay thanks, then it does not always work as a workaround. Will report this.

                      @leafs93 no, it is still being investigated, especially why it works for some and not for others.

                            @isazi 4 pool swims after new software update 2.35.34 and so far watch has displayed distance at the end of the swims, however in 1 out of the 4, SA showed 0 distance after the sync, not sure what’s the trigger for this. Putting it out there in case anyone is seeing similar issue.

                              @herlas does the App still shows 0 meters?

                                @isazi yes, but it has happened once only though.

                                    @herlas i had the same situation today with the Watch. Beside that the Watch was completly offtrack when measuring the distance. I swam 1000 m and it showed 1550 m even though i selected the pool length. I has before a Huawei gt2 and was offtrack with 50/100 m. Hope they can fix something

                                      @isazi it is not fixed. Still have the same issue every time I swim.
                                      It just changed a little bit, now at the end of the swimming the watch shows the correct distance. In the Suunto app the distance is always 0.
