Activities: Record/Display swimming stroke for swim activities

[henrydyer]

Times for swimming a given distance of the four different strokes (freestyle, butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke) are often wildly different, with correspondingly different training goals. So it would be very useful to display the stroke data that Garmin watches, etc. collect in the activities that they send to Strava. It would also be good to be able to flag drill intervals, as per Garmin watches.

This is would be a great addition and needs more attention!

I can't believe this hasn't been submitted before?

Simply, a counter for the amount of strokes I swam in my session. So the sports/apple watch would record each time the hand slaps the water. 

I only have access to an endless pool, so this would be another great variable to have in calculating the total distance I've swum. Thanks!

Yes please.

Need this as breaststroke training is completely different to freestyle
