Hello. Can anyone recommend how to have Athletica AI correctly record my swimming data? Garmin and my Form goggles show my average 100 yard as about 1:25. Then when I look at Athletica AI it shows over 2:00 per 100. I’m guessing Athletica AI is recording total time in the water instead of swimming time.
Has anyone figured out a way around this issue?
Thank you

You can just change the workout time manually and it will adjust your load.

How do you change your workout time/100 yard average after the workout is done?

Hey @Matreya242
manual adjustment: check what your moving duration :
In my example: 41:13. Then manually adjust duration:
Hope this helps.

How do you do the manual adjustment? I recognize the window you’re showing but can’t determine how I change the data within it.

Are you able to delete duration and type in the moving duration?
I only see a duration box that allows me to change the duration of the whole swim but nothing that shows I can change moving duration.

You can’t overwrite by clicking on the duration?

Actually, I can. I was thinking that I would want to revise “moving” duration as a separate marker while leaving entire duration intact. But what I’ve done is look at the difference between entire vs. moving duration of the planned workout and reduced my “duration” by that difference. My thought is that now the recorded time of my workout is only my moving portion. How does that sound to you?

If you use moving duration instead of total duration your “pace” will be correct. 
Total duration counts in entire time you’ve been at the pool, so if you want to get credit for the entire time at pool, leave duration as is. If you want your swim pace to be correct (distance / moving duration), down-adjust duration based on moving duration

What I’m saying is I don’t have the ability to change “Moving” duration. Only duration.
Or I at least don’t know where the UI allows for adjusting moving duration. The attached screen grab is what I see and where I made adjustments. I get this window when I click on a past workout. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?
Unfortunately you can’t edit only the moving duration and pace. But the AI often takes the entire average instead. E.g. my swim today looks gawdawful, since I was very tired and took lots of breaks (too many), so my total average was 3:33 LOL! But moving average was 1:47…SMH.
I am noticing that you don’t have a section showing your moving average though - you’re missing the section below Distance that I have here - that may be a bug. If you had that info would you feel better about the data?

I’m measuring my swim via an Apple Watch. Maybe that’s the issue? Though, Apple Fitness completely understands all of the sets from the workout and can tell me my /100 time per set. Not sure why that same information doesn’t propagate the Athletica data. And yes, I’m missing the Moving Duration and it’s the point I am trying to make here with the ATHLETICA crew. And it’s not about me “feeling” better about the data. It’s more that if AI is using the data and it’s wrong, then it’s feeding me workouts that aren’t accurate to my ability. For example, if your workout above was recorded like mine, would you feel confident being fed workouts based on a 3:33/100 pace?

Hey @SRED802 did you by any chance do the swim tests that Athletica asked you for? Those are essential to build a proper profile your abilities.

I did. Though issues I’m outlining now about recorded swims occurred with the swim tests as well.

Ok, let me see if I understand correctly. Your swim workouts are fed correctly to your Apple Watch, and you are able to follow the instructions from your watch in the pool.but your target pace for those swims is way too slow (3:00+mins/100m)? You have done your CSS test, and you can see a swim profile on your charts. You want to be able to follow the workouts with pace targets more aligned with your ability.
Am I getting this right? Thanks, MJ
Not quite that slow but generally you’re spot on. Because my moving time isn’t recorded in athletica, only full duration, athletica continually records my /100 pace slower than actual.
Today’s workout actually has legitimate times recommended based on my ability. But I think that’s because I went back and changed “duration” recorded times of past swims to approximate “moving times” . My /100 pace numbers now more accurately reflect my ability. Although, as you stated, now those workouts show I didn’t swim as long as the planned duration. Which is the lesser of the two evils? Not hitting the planned time in the pool or having slower pace recordings?

Hey @SRED802 great, thank you. I’ll tag @Stef here for awareness. I know backend team is working on a solution for this as we speak, so hopefully soon.

Hi! I guess you’re using a Garmin device? If so, yes, we are due to release a fix soon which should fix the issues related to swim paces and averages!
