Best open water swim App!!!
I’m an avid open water swimmer in Montana and this is by far the most helpful app that I have ever used. Love the temperature data as we usually start swimming around 47F in the spring and our lake only warms up to 74F by August so I am always curious what the water temp is while I am swimming. Only big suggestion would be a way to upload to Strava, then the app would be perfection!!!jscoleiii
Developer Response
Love to hear it! Strava Sync has now been added. Enjoy!Update to previous review
Today, I received a note from the developer via Apple that said the error “was outside of our control…”
Summarily, I managed to get about one month’s use (right after my trial was up) until it bricked, and my only recompense was a push of the blame. Shrug - I guess it’s a $25 lesson.PhatMichaelT

As mentioned in your support ticket, this occurred after your watch upgraded to a new OS and was outside of our control, despite our best efforts to assist.Accurate open water swim track, nice display
The swim track is the most accurate I’ve found for lake swimming. There are occasional glitches related to poor gps reception on my Apple Watch beyond the ability of the algorithm to correct (such as when smoke from Quebec fires was distorting gps signals), but it’s usually quite accurate. I had a question and the app provider responded almost instantly.Len is procrastinating

Open Water has gone above and beyond, thoroughly testing the app for accuracy and reliability when you are out in the open water. You can focus on your swim while Open Water handles the tracking.
And once you've completed your swim, you'll be able to relive the experience on your phone, which will add the swim to your monthly summary and provide a detailed look at your swim including: distance, pace, duration, heart rate, and energy burned. Beyond that, there's a native inspired heart rate graph and beautiful interactive map where you can choose to view satellite or topographical imagery.
And when you're done checking out all the details of your swim, we've given you a one click share button that will put together a beautiful summary of your swim to send to your friends.
