Mark Swim as Commute but not Race

Hi,

When using the Strava Android App(269.10 (1226114)), if you enter a Swim activity, and try to define the `Type of Activity` you only have one option.... Commute 😂

Maybe there is somewhere in the world people may need to commute via swimming, but I would say for the vast majority of people this option will never be ticked.

It would be far more useful if you could mark your swim as a Race, like you can for run/cycle.

Posting in this forum as im not sure if its a bug or what, but its been like this for years

Hi dsm1891,

Thanks for your post.  You are correct, we don't currently offer the ability to tag swimming activities as a race.

This sounds like the perfect idea to share to our Feature Suggestion board, so that others can also vote on your idea. We kindly ask that you review our Feature Suggestions guidelines, particularly the “What makes a good idea” section, to ensure that your ideas are clear, concise, and can reach as many others as possible.

Thank you for your contribution, we value your input.

Yep, for a race swim, no option to set it. Commute is useless. Should not be of big effort of development to set it as race.

I will share it on the suggestion board... but you got to tell me, how many people commute to work via swim? this is a stat I just have to know

Have you never seen ‘that Seinfeld episode’? 😉 But good point anyway.

And once again (at Ironman Desaru 5150) I found myself wondering, ‘is this a race… or a commute?’
