No. of distances distorted - will FR255 buying repair it?

Hello,

I have used Garmin Swim (1) for years and it has always counted my distaces perfectly. Baterry was perfect (1+ year on one battery!). But after it stops working (know problem with leakage after years of usage) I have bought Swim 2 and it seems to me I worst my money :-(

Swim 2 drops distances regullary, with no reason, swiming alone on pool, the same styles like before suddenly watch looses his mind...

So, I wonder to buy ForeRunner 255, maybe they corrected the swim algorithm there? Maybe the hardware used there is better ther to take it? Please, if somebody uses FR255 - tell if it is good form pool swimming.

Thanks in advance, greetings to all!

Proceeding of swimming activity in the pools did seem to me not too complicated. And it was not complicated when I was using Garmin Swim (1) for a few years - maybe one-two incorrect count a month. Last day my Garmin Swim 2 displayed a "new record" after swimming, making my speed on the Michael Phelps level :-) Of course by adding me laps (and the time was as it was). So, not only the swimming technique could be a problem, but having all my history the watch should calculate, that swimming suddenly so fast is just impossible (2x faster with 2x fewer strokes...)
