Has anyone put their Fitbit on their ankle and swam? Did it work? I know just wearing it on my wrist won't do much right?

    The fitbit is a pedometer. It won't register calories burned from swimming because it works by way of processing jarring impacts, like those generated taking steps. For swimming you would want a heart rate monitor.
