Swim distance - Miles Broken

Is anyone else showing miles swam instead of yards? My graphics used to be correct but the latest update seems to have broken everything and now I am a superman swimmer doing 2000 miles as a warm up... it sounds like that iron man swim will be a piece of cake...unless that is now 4000 miles

At least some swim activities were uploaded yesterday.

I have a problem regarding swim total distance reports. I swam 5,3 and 4,6 km in two days, and I can see 5300 and 4600 km in the report [See attachment]

Could it be fixed please?

I'm having the same issue. I emailed Garmin last week... no response!

The problem is due to the reports graph. It seems to me that there is an incorrect managing of the legend units: for example, if you swim 2000 meters the report graph doesn't convert this value in km for comparing in with run, bike and other activities that are usually tracked in km. This is very annoying and makes the graph report totally useless!

I've noticed the same issue in modern Connect. I uploaded an 800m swim and in the activity details it reads correct but on the report side the swim is showing as 800 km! All my swim distances are wrong and read in km and not metres in reports. Please fix this!

Mine too. Nothing like a 3,000 mile swim! Does anyone know if Garmin is working on the issue at all?

Sorry everyone! We are aware of the bug and working to get out a fix out as soon as we can. It seems to only affect the distance displayed on the widget, the activity details are correct when viewing the activity.

I am having the same issue. Yards being reported as miles just for swimming activity in the total distance report. Should not be hard to fix. Maybe the developers of the Garmin connect have never swam before :)

Same problem here. meters showing as km. Only from August though - everything before that looks fine.

Great to hear that you are aware of this problem and trying to fix it! It is kind of annoying to see the running part completely overshadowed by a giant pillar of swimming distance.
