One of the badges I've yet to achieve... walked about 5k to my local swimming pool to find that an alarm had sounded and so it was closed till further notice doh! I can't see why you shouldn't be awarded it....
Did you find any answers to this? I am having difficulties too. I set the pool length in either meters or yards, the distance never transfers over so when I put it in manually (in either meters or yards) it automatically converts to meters as my profile is set as metric. Im at a loss of what to do. Im doing a 6 week swimming program so I really want to get this in that time
SOLVED. I struggled getting this but FINALLY figured it out. So you probably have a LOT of swims recorded and sync'd with garmin.connect. I have the FR735XT but I think any Garmin swimming compatible device will work. Go to Garmin.connect and then click on Activities, then All Activities. Click on one of your recent swimming activities. A bunch of data charts will pull up showing pace, etc.,,, Now click on the Edit icon on the top right of the screen (looks like a pencil). Change the pool size here to the opposite unit. I normally swim a 25 meter pool so I changed the pool size to 27.3 and clicked the dropdown for yards. Note: 27.3 yards = 25 meters. Click Save in the upper right of the screen. You should now have your badge. I did this today, 11Feb22. It updated immediately and awarded me the badge then I chose to go back and change the data back to meters but this isn't necessary.
