Can I suggest we have a local legends feature for open water swim segments as we do for cycling and running? I swim many laps of my local lake in the summer https://www.strava.com/segments/9785372 but I'd love to know how I stack up against the really keen swimmers.

Hello @oranj 

​​Thanks for submitting your idea regarding local legends for swim segments.  It has been reviewed by our moderation team and is now open to voting.

Yes please! I've been hoping for this for a long time! 🙂

Yes I agree! With the open water swimming courses now available around buoys, segments are able to be created and it would be great to see the work my local peers are putting in and how much I am comparatively doing, just the same as runs and rides.

Yes please, swimming is an important reason I use Strava.

Hi Jane,

How would we know if this request will be taken seriously? Should I put this out to other Swimmers, and if so is there a link that would allow them to vote their agreement? They may not be on the Community forum.

Yes I was thinking the same @Sean_Haywood . Happy to share to various strava swimming groups if it would help.

@Jane I'd appreciate it if we could hear some feedback about why/why not strava would enact this change.

 

Many thanks,

Ella
