Pool swim not accurately identifying stroke
Since the last update, my watch has not accurately identified strokes during pool swims. Has anyone else noticed this, and have any thoughts on correcting it? Thanks!

Hi OrigamiFan1,
Many thanks for the quick reply. My problem is more that the apple watch is mis-identifying strokes, specifically identifying freestyle as breaststroke. Prior to the last OS update, the watch was accurately tracking and identifying stroke. I'm curious as to why this has changed and, ideally, I'd like to correct it.
Any thoughts on that?
