Why Apple Watch Ultra 2 doesn't track distance in open water swimming?

My Ultra 2 is not tracking distance in Open Water swimming workouts even though i’m swimming freestyle and have all the location services activated and the info all updated. The gps is working but i don’t have any info on the pace or distance.
