Apple Watch stopped tracking swim workouts

Has anyone had any luck fixing the workout app to track your swim workouts? I have tried resetting, repairing, checked settings. It worked fine up until the last update. It tracks all other workouts just fine. But will only time swim workouts. Apple support can not figure it out. Please get this fixed!

Apple Watch Series 10 not recording open water swims Hi, and thanks in advance for any suggestions. When I begin an open water swim activity, my watch Series 10 (latest software, paired to an iPhone 12 also with the latest OS), the swim shows as recording and at the end of the swim when I pause it, the screen shows time and distance and other metrics. Then, when I end the activity, it doesn’t record a swim. Instead, it just shows a few thousand steps added plus a few hundred calories burned - so it knows I’ve done something. This has happened twice now. The watch records my runs perfectly and shows a map of the run and all the running metrics. Any ideas as to what’s happening?

Troubles ending an open water workout My Apple watch begins an open water workout, but at the end of the swim if I don't stop the swim workout right away, it doesn't record. What the heck? It's never easy to get back to shore and dry fingers and watch completely so that I can stop the workout. How can an Open Water Swim workout just disappear? How to make it work? Can I return the watch if it's going to continue being finnicky?

Apple Watch Ultra not tracking swimming activities accurately IWatch 10 recorded my open swim accurately and provided maps. i upgraded to IWatch ultra and it will not do same. It had added Dive - useless and severity of workout - confusing and useless. How do I get ultra to perform what the old watch did? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

This is weird.

I woud report this to Apple If I where you as it seems that you tried everything that you can try yourself

For the record, have you restarted the watch and the paired iPhone to see if the issues persist
