If you have an Apple Watch you know: If you didn’t track your swim, it feels like it doesn’t count!
Tracking An Open Water Swim
Open Water tracking is most accurate when location services are enabled for MySwimPro. There are two places to check that these permission are enabled:
- In the MySwimPro app, head to Profile > Settings > Devices & Integrations, and make sure Open Water Location services is turned on. If the switch is greyed out, you'll have to check for location services settings in your iPhone's Settings app.
- Open the iPhone Settings app, find MySwimPro, and check that Location Services access is set to While Using.
