VivoActive 3 Swim LCM Accuracy

Hello.

I use my Vivoactive 3 a few times a week when swimming laps. Swimming SCY (25 yard pool) and the accuracy is pretty good.

However, we are gearing up for summer and switching to LCM (50 meter pool), and even though I switch the distance setting on the watch to 50m before I start, it is extremely inaccurate. It is way, way too high. This morning it said I swam 5000m in an hour, it was probably closer to half that.

I've looked over the accuracy for swimming articles, and like I mentioned, it works fine with the shorter distance. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
