    yeah my Garmin does not log swims properly - even though the vivofit 3 can supposedly recognise swimming/running/biking.

    I log swims on mfp for the calorie burns and let the garmin just track walking/running. :) swimming is such a lovely calorie burner

    A 3km swim for me burns about 367 calories based on a 1.30/100m pace. I don't find swimming that great for calorie burning.

    Depends on weight too. I burn about 1500 for 6.4km.
    But it would be lower if I weighed less.
