I just noticed that, for the first time, my swim has recorded my heart rate. That's nice, but I didn't know it did.

Just swam again today and my HR was recorded (pool swim). I hope this continues - the readings give good correlation to effort so I'm happy with the readings and estimate of effort, calories, etc.
…For the Fenix 6? We’re talking specifically about the Instinct...
Same happened with me on my Garmin Instinct. I really hope it’s not a bug...
Is there anyone here who still has installed the firmware with the HRM working during swimming? If so, could you please download the file //GARMIN/Sports/SwimmingLap_SwimPool_Swim.fit from the device, zip it, and insert it here? There is a small but existing possibility that the HRM is enabled through this FIT file, and not directly in the firmware. I could verify it. If so, it should be possible to turn on the HRM even at newer firmware versions.
Hi Trux, I still have the 10.10, HR was working last time I swam in October.
Here are the 2 fit files (openwater and lap swim)

Great, thanks! I'll check it out, and if I manage getting it work with the recent firmware, I'll post the adjusted Swim definition file here. Or I'll post the instructions how to edit it. As I wrote, the chance is rather dim, but I'll try it anyway.
Many thanks for trying, that would be awesome.
Happy swim
No, finally I did not, since the swimming pools are closed anyway, and there was an easy workaround posted by taozengwa:
