Pool swimming question

I am a new user and have a question regarding pool lap sessions. 

Using my fitbit watch, it automatically senses when I am swimming and records the metrics while in the water.

With the Garmin 255, the instructions state I have to select 'Swim', then 'Start', then 'Stop' each time.  This is a big hassle and I might forget to select 'Stop'.

This watch seems quite sophisticated, yet why can't it automatically detect and record pool sessions?

Do I have this wrong and there is such a setting?
