Corrupted FIT file

Long story short, sometimes my Forerunner 935 corrupts my swims when trying to download HRM data from my Garmin HRM-Swim. The FIT file doesn't sync to Garmin Connect

I get around this by "stripping" the Heart Rate field using https://www.fitfiletools.com/#/top

But Garmin Connect still can't read the file.

I tried playing with the FITSDK, but I get an error FIT decode error: Unexpected end of input stream at byte: 55385

Please help?

PS: Let me know what's an acceptable way to share the FIT file.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I was able to import it in Garmin Connect Web (It was in yards, but I edited it to meters).

PS: I have my Garmin Connect automatically uploading to Strava. This one didn't go through automatically for some reason (Not sure why), but Strava accepted it when I uploaded it manually.

I really appreciate the help.
