Vivoactive 4 swim activity query

Noticed today while continuiously swimming that for the first 8 lengths my Vivo active 4 was recording more laps then than what I was completing. For example I swam 2 lengths and it recorded 3. Then on my 6 lap it had recorded 8. When I checked again after 10 lengths it seemed to correct itself.

Does this sound right. Does the watch take time to settle into a rhythm. My watch is set up for the correct length of pool that I swim in.

Cheers

No, it doesn't. It should be accurate from the beginning. Read these tips:

an additional tip, not listed in the document: if you do not use the competitive-style underwater turns (where you should push off strongly, to get the watch good chance to detect it correctly), then make sure to tap the pool wall with the hand wearing the watch. That's also generally well detected as a turn.
