My apple watch isn't recording distance for open water swimming

When I start and open water swim, the GPS map works but the distance isn't being recorded. I have the latest model of watch and am swimming freestyle.


It used to track distances but has recently stopped and I am at a loss....distances for all other workouts appear to be working as normal.


Any ideas welcomed!!!
