Thanks Andy. I had another look last night and managed to set a timer/ distance clock I think. Sadly can’t actually get to the pool today to swim the 1000m and my earlier efforts of 3000m this week not accounted but should be better set for next time.

There is a trick you can use. Start and stop an activity on your watch for just 1 second or so. Then save and sync. Edit the activity in Garmin Connect and change the type to pool swim, set distance, change date and time. Save. Now you got a swim activity recorded with your watch that counts for the challenge.

But for some reason these activities are not taken in my challenges.
Maybe you know how to fix it?
