Are structured SWIM workouts from TrainingPeaks EVER going to be able to be synced/exported to Garmin Connect?

I have a 945 and have been emailing Garmin and Trainingpeaks customer service about this for literally years. It took a long time for me to make them understand what I wanted. I want structured swim workouts from TrainingPeaks to download/sync/export whatever you want to call it. I want the structured swim workout that was created in TrainingPeaks to show up on my 945 just like the structured run and bike workouts do. And no, I don't want to create the workout myself, that's why I paid TrainingPeaks to do it for me. They spent a long time blaming each other for the lack of functionality, and then I started forwarding Garmin's responses to TraningPeaks and vice-versa. They both ended up giving me some vanilla response like "we know it's important, we're working on it" which basically means "stop bothering me". I can't be the only athlete that is pissed off that I have $600 on my wrist and I still have to write my swim workout on my arm with a ballpoint pen. I have "suggested" it to Garmin on the "Have an Idea?" page about 10 times. I would really like to know if anyone is actually working on this issue.

    Previously scheduled swim workouts didn't sync automatically. Maybe it only works for newly scheduled ones. But I managed to get them synced by moving the workout to another day and back.

    I see Im late to this post but no you certainly are not......I thought that was the point of a TRIATHLON watch. Drives me mental and wastes my precious time. Like you, I dont want to spend half a day manually entering stuff in, (the time it took me to do a 12 week plan). And then of course you may want that plan to begin again on a future date as a complete schedule or heaven forbid with changes as youve gotten better at swimming. I was under the impression Garmin was the best but honestly I miss my Tomtom multisport, I could see the bloody screen underwater, it beeped at the right time and was a third of the price. Oh what to do!!!! Also, I dont expect to pay out on third party subs for the watch to do its job. Thanks for letting me rant!

    Thanks. That fixed it!

    I switched to Humango.ai and it does sync the swims to my watch just fine without extra steps.  Been this way for almost a year now. 
    However, I am happy to see this, in the event I go back to TP.  Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

    All,

    After the change made by TrainingPeaks, swimming workouts made in TrainingPeaks with the structured workout builder will now successfully transfer to your linked Garmin Connect account.  If you are still experiencing any issues with this, please start a new thread.
