Apple Watch 3/Watchos 5 - Swimming not counting laps or calories correctly.

Hello, I updated to Watch OS 5.1, and now works perfectly again.

Haven't tried 5.1.1, but I think I will stay in 5.1 as it works 😀

That is exactly what is happening to me.

First time swimming. But on my apple watch workout app there is no longer a swimming option? i am sure i saw it before. anyone else have this issue?

Lap counting not working when swimming. I swim a steady 3000m per hour, lap counting vital to count the 120 laps.

running 5.1.2 software

Hi! Checking back in on this. I was able to fix this by completely by "force" shutting down and restarting my watch after the last update. No need to reset or re-pair. It just worked after that.

Great!, did the force shutdown and restart, updated to 5.1.3 - all good now, balance is restored to the force 😀, my laps and exercise all being counted correctly again

Force-quitting the app was what finally made this work for me. Thank you.

I was also able to fix this by completely by "force" shutting down and restarting my watch. The next time I used the swim app it worked fine.

Same here. After updating to OS5 it now always shows 0 laps

Same here. I swam for 30mins as usual and my watch said 0 laps!! Is there any fixes yet?

i think this happens every time there is an ios update. That was my experience. Apple should look into this.

Same issue here: I have aaple watch 4 on watch OS 5, but the swim workout overcounts the distance I swam. I usually swim about 1 km, but watch says I’m swimming 4-5km.

Is Apple listening to this or do they care? Why cant they correct this on the next IOS update?
