Transferring swim data while not online

My most recent swim was transferred to my mac while I wasn't online. I later did a manual upload to Garmin Connect and the results are not what I would expect. The graph and data look more like a typical run workout, with no stroke or efficiency information. The Activity Type was set to "Other" but changing it to Lap Swimming doesn't change the presentation of the data. The Additional Information recognises that the data was transferred from a Garmin Swim:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/249954875

Is it possible to either
(a) make Garmin Connect realise that this is indoor swim data
(b) resend the data from the watch. (The swim is still visible on the watch & I have tried moving the swim data file from the History folder but the ANT agent doesn't recognise there is "new" data to be sent.)

Incidentally, when I first bought the watch I had many problems with stroke recognition & length count, but since performing a factory reset the length count has been perfect and the stroke recognition correct for about 97% of lengths.

    I observed the same thing when I tried to modify the tcx file of an activity and uploaded it again on Garmin Connect. The file was corrupted (as the firmware indicated for the watch 0.3.0.0 instead of 3.0.0.0) and only time and distance were available.
    Try to upload again your original FIT file on Garmin Connect ... you can find it in the folder Library/Application Support/Garmin/Devices/xxxxxxxxxx/Activities
    Good luck !

    Thanks for the very helpful reply! Uploading the FIT file from the Activities folder did the trick and the activity looks as expected:

    Happy swimming!
