Fenix 6 Pro software update 28.02 Swim Stroke Detection is WAY OFF

Whatever you did in software update 28.03 for the Fenix 6 series (mine is a 6 Pro), you have severely degraded swim stroke detection!!! Fix this please! My swims prior to the 28.02 update (ie software version 27.0) are all fine. And before you ask, I am not doing anything different with respect to swimming. I sync watch to GC app daily. PLEASE FIX...!

Thank you.

This is my 0.02 and just speculation. The 6 is pass its end of life. I am sticking with 27 as the bugs that were fixed in 28.02 do not affect me and i am concerned that the latest 28.02 will break more things than it can fix. I would go back to 27. If they do relesae a new update and I doubt it, it could be months.

I’ll have to try that, revert to old firmware. On a side note, I made an observation since posting this… When fully charged, stroke detection performs near-flawlessly. At lower battery, it struggles. I have my watch set to power save mode. Would that affect accelerometer/stroke detection at all (when at lower battery levels).? Thanks.
