Add Activity Type: Aquafit / Water Fitness

[SLCrozier]

I would like to see Aquafit / Water Fitness added as an activity type.  It is one of the workout types on the Apple Watch, so it would be nice to to be able to track it via Strava rather than having to record some activities in Strava and some in Apple workouts.

Thanks for submitting your idea to add Aquafit as a Sport Type. It has been reviewed by our moderation team and is now open to voting.

We recommend using "Workout" for all activities that aren't supported on Strava in the meantime.

i don't believe "workout" would track steps or "distance" . If one is doing aqua jogging/water running, one would like to know the equivalent distance same as if they were on a treadmill.

Hello and thank you to everyone who has taken the time to add your votes and comments to this request. 

We want to let you know that we do not intend to add more activity/sport types to Strava in the foreseeable future, and this feature suggestion will be moved to a status of not currently planned.

We appreciate and understand this is not the answer you were hoping for. We strive to be as transparent as possible and provide updates to our Community when they become available. 

Please remember that we receive a large number of idea submissions, and even some  popular ideas may not make it to the implementation stage. The number of votes an idea gets is one factor among several that’s considered when our product team develops the roadmap.

For more information, review our Guide to Ideas.

Additionally, a status of not currently planned does not mean this feature suggestion goes away. It will remain open to votes and comments, and may be revisited at some point in the future.

Lastly, we sincerely hope you will continue recording and uploading your activities to Strava. Here is a list of the Sport types that we currently support. It’s always an option to set your activity to sport type “workout” and indicate more specifics in the activity name.

Thanks again for your contributions.

Understandable that there are priorities. But could you (or someone familiar with how the watches work) at least give us some insight as to which existing sport choices would best reflect heart rate/distance/calories etc while running or working out in a pool, and what adjustments we could add on our own to compensate for the hydrostatic pressure or water resistance?
