How can I change pool length from meters to yards?

[AntieMoe]

I wear a Galaxy 4 watch, I've got my settings in the Android phone Samsung app set to pounds, inches and feet but when I swim laps, the tracking results display in meters which throws of the total length of my swim, as the pool I use in 25 yards. I've fooled with every setting I can find, but clearly I am missing something.

@AntieMoe: I have looked into this for you, and unfortunately it is not possible to change the unit of measurement from metres to yards while using the Swimming tracker on your Watch4. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Well that is concerning. I hope the developers adapt this in the future. Thanks.

Hi! It sounds like you're dealing with a frustrating issue with your Galaxy 4 watch's swim tracking. Even though you've set your Samsung app to use pounds, inches, and feet, it still displays results in meters. As a pool builder might adjust measurements for accuracy, make sure to double-check both the Samsung Health app and the watch settings to confirm the pool length is set to 25 yards. Sometimes syncing issues can cause these discrepancies, so re-syncing your devices might help. If the problem continues, contacting Samsung support could be a good next step. Best of luck!

@AndrewL David I would if I could FIND the setting. Andrew the moderator says it's not available yet.

If you know of some secret backdoor to the setting, please do share!

I have a similar problem; my galaxy watch was working fine while swimming in a pool with a length of 25 meters. Today, i went to another pool having a length of 50 meters and everything is recorded with a pool length of 25 yards ! How can i change/ adjust this ?
