Today I did my first swim with the Forerunner 55, and I did 500 m, but the app reports 1600 m. I think it mixed up feet and meters.

Thanks. I am not yet ready to swim this carefully, so I thought, I just will have a lap button. Later when I am ready with the technique, I will swim in a way that the distance is measured correctly. How do I add the lap button? For Pool Swim I can't add the lap button.
Thanks. What's the difference between lap and drill?
Meanwhile I bought Swimsports+ but this app is a bit much.

The log will not show the style or the number of strokes, only the time, distance and heart rate. Apparently in this.
You generally use drill when you do for example kicks using a kicker board etc so not a normal stroke. I am not a regular swimmer and I managed to get laps and stroke detection working Ok with a little change. Of course one really has to concentrate on the pushes from turns as that is what triggers a lap change. Alos if you fiddle with your watch arm during a length , or perhaps bump something like the dividing rope , it may trigger a new lap. Consider it a challenge :-) to get it more accurate.
I also use this web site to adjust strokes etc if you are that way inclined.
