Edit Stroke Type

I think it is awesome that my watch can detect what stroke I am swimming.

That said I am not sure why Garmin Connect is protective about me possibly correcting this information when it is mis-interpreted by the watch. By doing so I am not saying that Garmin is doing a bad job of detecting the stroke I am swimming. Sometimes I forget to put it in drill mode and sometimes my stroke gets sloppy and a back stoke will be interpreted as *** stroke. I just want to have final say of what the stroke type was.

I could see perhaps not allowing this if the set in question was being used as a record and if Garmin had stroke context in the records. But that is not the case so why can't I manually change this after the fact in Garmin Connect?

Likewise, 4 years later I wonder if there is any way to edit misdetected stroke style after a swim in the pool.

You should be able doing so with the Swimming Watch tools

Adding the ability to correct the swim stroke type in Garmin Connect Web is a simple task, really surprised this hasn't been done. Even though my watch does a reasonably good job of detecting my swim stroke, there are intervals every session that are incorrect and need editing - especially if using paddles or fins. I use the tools shared by trux (thanks!) but this really is a feature that Garmin Connect Web should provide.
