Swim pace workout issues?

Hey there!
On my swim session today (4/15/25) I noticed the swim paces are not transferring over from Garmin correctly.

What Garmin recorded for my paces:


Which was accurate to what I was experiencing during the workout.

What Athletica thinks are the distributions of my paces

For reference, Zone 1 is 2:51-2:00 / 100 yd and I don’t think I spent any time in that whole workout in that range. Maybe during the kick sets? In fact, garmin often doesn’t even pick up that I travel anywhere when I’m doing kick sets so I always have the fill that in after the fact. But that’s a whole different issue…

I know the heart rate is all over the map and not really reliable and I’ve made peace with that. However I would expect the paces should be more in line with reality. The workout summary actually doesn’t even display a pace graph over time for the swim, just the HR over time.

Let me know if you need the .fit file!

Thanks @ethilo … this is a tricky issue that @Stef has been working on for some time. I believe it relates to data parsing from the Garmin system. He’s chipping away fyi.
