Hi I’m new to Strava and open water swimming.

i have a question re: tracking distance and time using my Garmin Venu 2 watch. As far as I know my watch cannot track open water swimming. Time yes, distance and gps, pretty sure not. I’ve downloaded the Swim Coach app and from my understanding, it can’t either.

 

Anyways. I downloaded the Strava app and used it for the first time yesterday. To my surprise, I found this on my Strava when I got home. I’m delighted with it. But can somebody enlighten me which of the above produce this? My garmin venu 2 or swim coach app?  Many thanks!!

 

Just to add that, I didn’t bring my phone with me for the swim (Which I know some people do attach phone to tow float so they can a good reading)

In the activity you can see the device or app that had recorded it. But if you didn't bring the phone then the answer is obvious.
