Apple Watch SE not recording pool swim properly

I’m having a problem recording pool swim on my Apple Watch and reconciling it with fitness activity. This is my pool swim today but somehow not aligns with my fitness goals as shown in the next image . So for instance, my pool swim is for an hour and I burnt 200 calories but my fitness goals only show 15 minutes for exercise and 100 calories for Move

Greetings Bhusorla,


If your data is not recording accurately, trying calibrating your Apple Watch for improved accuracy.


  1. "While wearing your Apple Watch, go to a flat, open outdoor area that offers good GPS reception and clear skies.
  2. If you have Apple Watch Series 2 or later, you just need your Apple Watch.* If you have Apple Watch Series 1 or earlier, bring your iPhone for GPS. Hold your iPhone in your hand, or wear it on an armband or waistband.
  3. Open the Workout app, then tap Outdoor Walk or Outdoor Run. To set a goal before starting, tap the ... icon.

Outdoor Walk workout on watch with white band.

4. Walk or run at your normal pace for about 20 minutes." Calibrate your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy


We hope this helps!


Sincerely.
