AI analyzes your past swim data to suggest improvements to your training plan.
Correct Apple Watch Open-Water Swim Distance
Apple Watch can underestimate open-water swim distance, especially during breaststroke.
In my 1,000 m open-water race, Apple Fitness recorded just 115 m. SwimNow’s distance correction brought the result to 924 m, much closer to the actual distance.
