Hi diwec,
We understand you'd like to add swimming workouts to the Fitness app. We're happy to help.
While you can't manually add data to the Fitness app, you can add it to the Health app on your paired iPhone. Just go in to the Health app > select the Browse tab at the bottom > in the search bar at the top enter "Workouts", then select it. Once you have the Workouts page pulled up just select Add Data at the top right, then enter your workout information.
Manage Health data on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch
If you have a water resistant Apple Watch model (Series 2 or newer) you can also use it in the water to automatically track a swimming exercise and add it to the Fitness app. On the watch just go to the Workouts app, then scroll down and select the Swim option.
We hope this helps. Take care!
