I got my Garmin watch more than 2 years ago and as an avid swimmer I have found that there are almost no (monthly) challenges and badges available. During the northern summer you can (sometimes) earn 1 point with 1 hour of swimming per month, 2 points with an open water swim, and after a mixed metre/yard swim you get 1 point and ... that's it. Swimming is an important sport, one of the few truly lifetime sports. It is a triathlon and Ötilö discipline, and in many countries it is one of the most popular sports with the public (Europe, Japan, US, Hong Kong, etc. etc.). I really wonder why Garmin treats swimming so badly. In comparison, there are challenge badges every month for cycling, running, walking, strength, sometimes even yoga and the like - but no swimming. And there are badges for Pilates, breathwork, Yoga, etc. you can earn after, say, 10, 25, 50, or 100 sessions. Swimming, on the other hand, offers no options. Tongue in cheek: Is the Garmin management water-shy? :)
