Hi all

I am aware what users can change units (metric/imperial) in Strava settings, however, this then applies to all activities. 
 

Is it possible to select different units by sport. 
extra, I want to show metres for swimming and miles for cycling.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a way view the units of measurements by activity type I do apologize.

I’ve recently started swimming again and find it a bit frustrating having the distance in yards. Cycling and running in miles, and swimming in metres as that’s the standard measurement! I’m surprised there not more discussion about it!
