Wrong distance measured on Apple Watch when swimming in open water.


My apple watch s9 measures the swimming in open water distance wrongly. Typically only shows very short distance ie. 15-50 meters when swimming 330 meters. Same problem every time I try. The gps works properly when running, bicycling or or walking. Can’t find any info in the manual. Any suggestions?


Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 26
