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.

View splits and sets

  1. On your iPhone, open the Fitness app.
  2. Tap Show More next to Workouts.
  3. Tap the workout that you want to view. 

The Pool Swim workout automatically tracks your splits and auto sets, while the Open Water Swim workout only tracks splits. Splits are your total workout time divided by distance. Auto sets show your rest and swim time separately.2 Your can view the type of strokes you performed during your swim, which can include:

  • Backstroke
  • Breaststroke
  • Butterfly
  • Freestyle

You can also tap Show More next to Auto Sets to track your SWOLF score for each set, a metric commonly used by swimmers to track efficiency.
