Garmin not detecting back stroke

Hello,

I noticed that my Garmin Forerunner 955 doesn't detect back stroke. Generally I would do it in the middle of another exercise routine, like *** stroke /back stroke / *** stroke / backstroke...

It detects *** stroke and freestyle instead of back stroke.

Is it probably due to bad technique, because I do it in the middle of a mixed section or a "problem" that these series generally have?

Regards,

Pedro

    I had a problem with backstroke detection . I altered my stroke slightly and since then it worked. I had to focus on how my arms and hands  move and enter the water, watched a few YT videos on technique to see.

    I generally change strokes at a rest so I can  see what is going on. Since then I've had much better detection rates.
