Swim total time equals moving time

My Polar app have recorded both total time and moving time. 10 minutes between these two times, but when I upload to Strava the pace is calculated based on the total time and not the moving time. 

Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Hello @mlindvik 

Thanks for posting about this and that is expected behavior on your Strava swim activity page.  For swim activities recorded with Polar, we are not excluding rest time from laps with zero distance. Unfortunately we do not currently have a way around this but are looking into a better way to process this data in the future.

We do have a related feature suggestion on this topic here, and we would welcome your feedback and vote (kudos) there.  

Thanks again for your contribution.

This issue ain't solved I don't know why it's marked as "solved". It's not that hard guys. The polar watch sends you a file with all the information you need to mark it correctly on Strava. Make an issue for the devs
