Open Water Activity

I’ve searched for anyone else commenting about this and am not really seeing anything related, but the “Open Water” activity needs to be tweaked a bit I think. I kinda suspect I burned more than 20 calories treading water offshore in current and swells for 30 minutes… Runkeeper seems to get it, do I have some setting wrong?

Disregard… For anyone else that doesn’t swim freestyle (which is apparently the only stroke the swim activities really work right for) when they’re doing Open Water activities, I found a post in the Vivoactive section suggesting using Cardio instead, which will give you your HR too. Would be nice if Garmin would make HR a user controlled option in the swim activities (especially since it apparently works fine on the Descent Dive app with the same sensor hardware).
