For the "Swimming Open Water" activity, I can record the water temperature.

How can I enable recording of the pool water temperature in the "Swimm on swimming pool" activity?

Thank you for this disappointing news :(

BTW. When recording the temperature, what irritates me is the rounding of the temperature measured by the watch to a whole number. For example, for ice-swimming 1.6C and 2.4 there is a big difference, but for Garmin-Connect it is always 2.

Maybe they could at least fix it?

The temperature is crazy inaccurate since you wrist is warming it. So the choosen precistion is just enough.

After 7-8 minutes, the reading stabilizes and the watch shows the correct temperature on the display with an accuracy of 0.1C. This information is rounded in Garmin Connect and displayed incorrectly there.

Below is a screenshot when the FR955 displayed 0.8C on the dial and this was the temperature measured with 3 laboratory thermometers.
