Swim workout - Do not count distance done with kickboard (even if equipment is specified for the lap in Garmin Connect)

Hello,

I am struggling to get my Fenix 7 to record the laps I am doing with kickboard (no arm movement).

I know the method to get them considered during a swim activity (using drills) but I don't understand how to do when I do workouts I have prepared upfront.

In Garmin Connect, I prepare my workout with series of laps with and without equipment. When it comes to kickboard lap, I specify I use the kickboard equipment in Garmin Connect.

I expect then that, when I do the workout, my watch will consider I have swum the corresponding distance when I hit the button "lap" (like in a drill).

The watch do acknowledge the lap time, give me my rest time and countdown to the next lap. But after I complete my workout, the laps I have done with the kickboard are not counted in distance and I can't see the time I have done for each kickboard lap.

I don't understand why.

Could anybody enlighten me here ? 

Thanks a lot !

Nic

  • Hello, I'm in the same boat, when I had fenix 6 and was using drills it was asking me the distance at the end of the drill. With Fenix 7 if I prepare the workout upfront and go to the pool, it doesn't ask me in the end and just ommits the distance from the total. What has changed? Is it a bug?
