My Apple Watch 2 - automatically detects the wrong stroke each time. I'm swimming 2000m of freestyle and it says I'm doing breaststroke.. it get the lap count correct... also you can't edit the work out afterwards..is anybody else having this issue?
Apple Watch Series 2, iOS 10.3.2
Here’s the answer. When your freestyle stroke is showing up as breaststroke, you have the wrist set incorrectly in the Watch app. Once I corrected that, it correctly identified my stroke again.

I have the same issue with my series 2, and it began to happen after a certain time point (maybe one update). Originally everything worked perfectly. Now, the watch records my freestyle as breaststroke, and my breaststroke as backstroke ...
Hi
The following steps may help:
If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:
Reset your existing calibration data and calibrate your Apple Watch afresh.
You may also wish to consider using a third-party swimming tracking app. For example:
I have the same issue. The only stroke I generally don't swim is breaststroke and that's what my watch says I swim.
Sometimes it will get some of my butterfly right, but it never seems to record my swimming as freestyle. This is very frustrating. I have been trying to get this figured out for months with no success. It almost seems like Apple knows this is a problem, but they don't have a solution so they don't respond.
On the other hand, the upgrade with the new OS (4.0) for the watch and phone (11.0.2) have made split times available and it seems to accurately record when I break between swims or for sets. That's pretty cool. I just have to ignore the data on the stroke because it is always wrong. Maybe that will improve with the next OS update.
Was anyone ever able to resolve this issue. I've had it for almost 3 weeks now.
