    Looking forward to trying the update out. I've been sick so haven't made it to the pool in a while. But I've kept the debug setting turned on, so I'll make sure I get several laps of *** stroke next time so hopefully that will help you with the stroke count some more.

    Cool, wating for your feedback.

    I swam on wednesday bu forgot to keep the stroke count... i dont know my stroke count, i am new to swimming. the value i read is very stable, so i guess this is a good hint. but i dont know if the value is ok.

    i swim just once a week, so any feedback before that regarding the accuracy of stroke rate calculation will be welcome :)

    Finally got back in the pool. Was sick for a couple weeks then the college pool I swim at was closed for spring break last week. Glad I checked for an update this morning before I left the house so I could make sure I had the latest version on my watch :-).

    I may have screwed the .fit file up, because I didn't export it before I manually edited the swim on the Garmin Connect site to add the distance. I'm hoping the exported .fit file doesn't include the edited part, but I apologize if it does and that makes it unusable for you.

    I did some *** stroke today just in case you could still use it for stroke analysis. It's my second active split (first 500 yards is crawl stroke, I rested a couple minutes, then the next 200 yards is *** stroke, the rest is crawl).

    I forgot to count my strokes to check the accuracy of the app counting, sorry. The only issue I had was on my last split it added a couple lengths. Not really sure what happened there, but the rest of the time it was great.

    Thanks for the file, I will take a look.
    Regarding stroke rate, the last version just takes into account one arm. Till previous version the value was doubled. I think it is better this way, and also that is what other swim watches do

    Checked the stroke count on a few laps (crawl stroke only) the last time I swam, the app seemed spot on! Nice work :-)

    Got an extra couple laps added again during one split, but I think it happened when I tried to look at my watch midway through a lap. It seems if I turn my wrist to look in the middle of the lap it will think I've changed direction and add a lap, and then I think it adds another one before I actually get to the wall. It appears to always add two extra laps (when it happens). I don't seem to have a problem normally if I only check my watch as I'm pushing off the wall. I'm guessing it's probably a limitation of the sensors on the watch, but let me know if you'd still like me to upload the .fit file for it.

    Hey there!
    Having just aquired the vivosmart HR, is it possible to use this app there as well?

    thanks a lot for the testing, you are of great help! :)

    the fact that in case of wrong detection it does not add one but two extra laps, is kind of a feature (the watch thinks you are backwards, and then again forwards => two laps).
    i have a couple of ideas to try to get rid of these glitches. i have been very busy the last weeks, and couldnt swim either.

    I dont need any additional fit file until i implement something.

    have fun!
