changing pool size in Apple Watch

I know that you're frustrated with the pool length, but just remember, it should not affect your work out results. It uses the accelerometer to calculate your activity, not length of pool.

It shouldn't be measuring the length of the pool other than what you entered prior to the workout. Not sure why it is changing it in your summary

When you start your next swim workout, maybe it will adjust itself. Maybe try recalibrating your watch prior to a swim. Go into the watch app Settings on your phone, then go to privacy/motion and fitness you will see an option to reset calibration data.

Yes, you would think that the default would be the last pool length entered, not 25.

It seems to go back to 25 at any opportunity rendering the stats unreliable at best.

The chap that stated it doesn't make any difference obviously didn't take the time to check the data recorded to his iPhone, which is clocked in 25yd/m intervals. This was a 20m pool and I did set the pool length at least once.

Every time I select a Pool Swim for my workout, the first screen that I'm shown gives me the option to change the pool size (shows the selected pool size with "+" and "-" buttons on the sides of the size).

Make sure that you select a Pool Swim and not an Open Water Swim.

Your activity rings and calories calculated are determined by your heart rate and movement, except for when you are in a swim Workoit due to the water disrupting the results. If you entered in the wrong data, you can't go into the Health app and add a work out, calories etc., although this will not affect your Activity rings.

Hi

When selecting a Pool Swim workout using the Workout app, it is possible to change the previously set pool length before selecting your workout goal and starting your workout.

It is not possible to edit the pool length for any workouts that have already been recorded.

Hello

What is the pool size used for? The quantity of laps may be interesting, ok.

Does it influence any other features?

If you have set a 25 m pool but your are actually swimming in a larger 50 m pool, in which cases does this matter?

The exercise goal is static and cannot be changed like your stand goal. Your move calorie goal is the only one that can be changed.
