Garmin Connect 5.3 Swim workouts kicking drills bug

Garmin Connect v. 5.3 has some new features, including a drill type for swim workouts. This doesn't seem to work properly: when I create an interval with drill type set to "kick", no distance was counted for those lengths. 

Prior to this release I used to set the stroke type to "drill" for kicking intervals (I believe this is the recommendation in the documentation). The drill stroke type is gone now. 

  • I have faced the same issue, workouts are now a mess... the solution is to delete Garmin Connect and download an older version from apkmirror. Also disable auto update in Play Store...

  • I'm facing the same issue. Trying to do a kick drill, or a fins javelin drill where I'm not doing a stroke with my arms, and I get no distance for it. Previously I could just set the stroke to drill and I would get the distance when I pressed lap. I've tried drill/choice as that's what my old drill workouts turned in to and still nothing. They just need to add a stroke for Drill for drills where your arms aren't doing one of those strokes.
