records lost after deleting one

So I managed to overwrite my swim records this week by stupidly leaving the pool length as 50 for a 25 session.

I tried deleting the activity and the swim record but in doing so, my run records disappeared.

Tried deleting all records on the watch, disabled true-up, synced and re-enabled in hope I would get this data back, but nothing is there.

It did sync the swim activity to the watch again - but kept it as 3500m instead of the 2000m I edited it to on GC - not too bothered about this.

Any ideas on how I get them back or will they be gone? Checked GC web (couldnt see anything on mobile app) and the records are from a while ago most of which asking me to confirm them.

Partly fixed. For future reference - I managed to restore some by going to list of my activities and sorting by speed/distance/power etc so looks much better again. Also deleted the ones I hadn't confirmed which were off like treadmill runs. To sync to the watch, you have to connect it via usb, confirm the record then click send to watch in the top right - which will open Garmin Express (I had to use windows).

Only thing I am struggling with is records like 1k and 1 mile. Choosing my recent run that contained these records it just saves the whole run not a specific mile. Will just have to try and run fast again.

I'm not sure I understand what you did there. What you should have done is reject the new record in garmin connect and then send the old records (just the records - not the activity) back to your watch.
