Apple Watch 3 not recording swim workout

My Apple Watch 3 just recently stopped recording any of my swim workout data except for the time. However, the watch is still tracking Move calories during the swim workout. How do I fix this problem?


Thanks!

Hi there Harlan,


Thanks for posting about your Apple Watch not tracking workouts exactly how you want. I'd be glad to see how I can assist.


A great place to start would be to restart your Apple Watch and your companion iPhone if you haven't done that yet. Check the links below for info on completing both of those.

Restart your iPhone


If the issue persists after that, you might want to unpair and then re-pair your iPhone and Apple Watch. Unpairing your Apple Watch will create a backup of the device on your connected iPhone.

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch

Set up and pair Apple Watch with iPhone


Let me know how that works for you.


Have a great day.
