Open water swim GPS lost

 Hapa Wally,

Thanks for the picture. Did you try all suggestions? Is route tracking switched on? See: End and review your workout on Apple Watch.

" To see the route you must have an Apple Watch Series 2 or later or have your iPhone with you during the workout. You must also turn on route tracking. You can turn on route tracking when you set up your Apple Watch, or at any time later: On your iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, tap Apple Watch Workout, then tap While Using the App."

If the Settings is on, try toggling it off and on.

Cheers,

Hi Hapa Wally,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help with Open Water GPS on your Apple Watch.

Check out this page: Swim with your Apple Watch. Please note the section:

"Open Water Swim: GPS will only provide distance when you do a freestyle stroke. Water might prevent a heart-rate measurement, but calories will still be tracked using the built-in accelerometer."

If the issue continues, make sure your Apple Watch is calibrated: Calibrating your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy.

Let me know how it goes.

Have a fantastic day!
