I swim in place, how can I best track it using my watch?

I have the Apple Watch 4, and I use tethered swim ropes to swim in place. I don't see my heart rate tracked and it asks me how far my laps are. Anyone have an idea how best to track my calorie burn using this exercise method? thanks in advance

Where and how can I find swim strokes after a swim? The Apple Watch is supposed to be able to count swim strokes, but I can't figure out where to see them in the fitness app.

How to use apple watch for winter open water swimming I tried to use my watch for a Swimrun yesterday and in the swim section it just paused. I had my watch on my wrist over neoprene wetsuit so I guess it was because it couldn’t detect heart rate. However this is a problem as when it gets colder I will have gloves on too and want to see my watch to check how long and how far in the water. Is there a setting on the watch that will do this? Last winter I had a Garmin watch and it was very happy recording a swim whilst outside my wetsuit. Thanks

Apple watch 6 not recording swimming I had a 35-minute swim today, I set my watch to the swim activity. My watch recorded the time but none of the swim strokes, distance. I set the pool length correctly. After swimming about 10 lengths and being thoroughly tired, my watch listed no distance but strangley also said I only burned 25 calories. Please help!

Use the other workout type,this measures time and calories burnt but not distance.
