How do you log swimming laps here? It's not "swimming." It's not "lap swimming." It's not "swimming laps." I'm missing something... :s

    Make sure to click on "cardiovascular" first!
    Then swimming. 2 options pop up when I do that.

    My kids swim about 7 km in 2 hours, and log it as Swimming laps, freestyle, fast, vigorous effort. The other option is light/moderate.

    There's also "swimming, leisurely" which still clocks a fair few calories. I log that, even when doing laps, because I'm a slowcoach and usually backstroke or breaststroke rather than freestyle
