Swimming with FR35

Hi all, I know there is no swimming option with the FR35 but wondered if anyone had found a way of measuring pool laps when swimming via any other option please?

I think the only possible option is manually by pressing the lap button (that's what I do).
After the sync to GC it's possible to change the activity to swimming instead of cardio.

Using the Cardio…

I don't think Garmin wants to support swimming in FR35 so people will buy much more expensive models.
I put on cardio without gps tracking (in a pool).

Couldn't find how to delete laps that were pressed…

Haha - I just tried it for swimming for the first time today. Average HR of under 60 for 45 minutes of low-intensity. Only 3 minutes of my workout even showed up in "Zone 1" and the rest didn't show up at all. (My usual RHR is about 54-55, so I'm calling BS on this, too.)

then how do you change it from swimming instead cardio?

I've learned this hack using the Vivoactive HR, set it on walk mode and do your laps. Once uploaded onto Connect or Strava you can change it to swimming. I've done open-water swim in a few races for triathlons with that method.
