I can’t figure out how to change the swim yardage in Strava that has been auto uploaded from Garmin Connect.  My Garmin watch does not records kick sets and sometimes I just push the wrong buttons or hit the lane lines which can push buttons, so I want to be able to correct what Garmin has uploaded to my Strava account.

Hello @Pwestervelt 


Thanks for posting about this.  Am I understanding correctly that this is an indoor swim activity that doesn't contain GPS data?  If that's the case, there's not an option to correct or change the data that is synced from your Garmin device.


One option would be to create the activity manually on your account with the right data:


Please follow these steps to upload a manual activity:


Using our website:


1. Log into your Strava account at www.strava.com


2. Hover over the orange plus sign at the top right corner of the page 


3. Click on "Add manual entry"


4. Select the activity "Sport Type" and fill out the fields listed


5. Click "Create" to complete your upload


Using the Android app:


1. Go to the Feed screen


2. Click the "+" button in the bottom-right


Using the iPhone app:


1. Go to the Feed screen


2. Click the "+" icon in the top-left


Please let us know if that's helpful.

This solution is ok but you then lose all your data like heart rate etc. would be good if Strava could give the option to correct distance in the pool as it often is incorrect 

This is one solution but it loses speed etc, HR SWOL etc - it would be really useful if when you altered your Garmin record it also altered the strata one
