    It's not recommended to swim with it on. You can manually log swimming on the app or site, but the band won't record it, and you'll probably ruin the Fitbit. They're water resistant, not waterproof. FitBit specifically says you shouldn't swim with it on.

    the flex 2 is for swimming, thats why I got one and fitbit specifically say CAN BE WORN FOR SWIMMING.

    I got mine in feb and have found step count and swim track to be pretty accurate. you will need to go in to the advanced settings and set the pool length to get a proper swim track

    The fitbit flex 2 is the one and only waterproof fitbit
