Swimming distance by Strava on iWatch 6 sport

I’m using an iWatch 6 sportedition and try to record my Swimm sessions by using the Strava app. Unfortunately Strava doen’t record the smdistancw using the iWatch. When i use other apps like outdoor or workout and export a swimm session to Strava the distance changes big way. Any tips which app I can use best?

Apple Watch and swim tracking I have an Apple Watch SE and it logs my laps in a pool fine, but when logging an open water swim it is very inaccurate. Is there a model which enables me to record open water swims with the addition of a viewable map of the track taken? Any other advice on logging swims welcome, thanks

Is it possible to edit an Apple Watch distance on an Indoor Run that is recorded inaccurately? is it possible to assist apple/my watch calibration by editing the distance after I finish an Indoor Run workout. The Indoor Runs that I record on my Apple Watch are often .5-1 mile shorter in distance than what I record on a treadmill over a 45 minute period. Garmin watches allow you to edit the distance on an indoor run/row/elliptical to assist Garmin to better calibrate and understand how far you travel given certain heat rates/ arm swings over time. If this is not a feature, it should be.

Why does Apple not know that when swimming a length and a lap are not the same thing? A lap is 2 lengths (up Why can’t Apple figure out that a lap is not a length when swimming. Every other fitness app for swimming knows this. When I swim laps after entering a 25 yard length, the watch records that I swam 2 laps. I’ve also had it record one lap and 25 yards. It has recorded two laps (when I swam one) and the distance was 25 yards. This is unacceptable. I can just put a different app on the watch & phone, but that should never be needed. I swam 25 laps today. (1250 yards). That’s around 3/4 of a mile. My watch said I swam 750 yards. It is useless for swimming compared to my 8 year old Fitbit that even let my pick the pool I was swimming. It knew the length and recorded my distance perfectly. Y
