Subject: Garmin Connect won't sync swim files
Just started having this problem today-- my Garmin seems to sync fine with Garmin Connect (910xt synching via ANT+), but today when I went to sync the last few days of workouts, it didn't sync my swim workout file from Sunday. I have run Monday and today and those two files synched fine.

Anyone else having this problem?

When I go to Garmin forums there is nothing obvious. It's a bit of a mess over there, though-- hard to find anything useful.

I suspect this is Garmin issue (Garmin Connect has been a bit finicky lately). I read about how people were having trouble synching data from the Vivofit, which I assume exports as .fit files (same as the swim files). So much be something about .gpx files synching, but not .fit?

Ive had this happen to me twice and oddly enough they were both swims however i don't think that has anything to do with it. My OCD seriously kicked in too and i probably spent an hour trying to figure it out. Well after getting no where i just let it go and like a day or two later it was there. Weird glitch i must say. Rarely happens so i didn't get worked up the second time..

Hmm... maybe it is just a coincidence. I will let it go and see what happens.

I wonder if there will be issues again this weekend when the clocks change. (happened last fall)

Interestingly enough yesterday I was having more generalized Garmin Connect issues, but I was able to sync my swim ok, I just couldn't access it properly.

If the swim was indoor, then the watch did not have a GPS signal to remind it of the correct date.
Go into your watch history and look up those swims. Check the date. Sometimes it goes wacky and sticks them in 1989. If so, check on garmin connect for whatever date it says and edit them to the correct day.

Good idea, but that's not it-- it shows up as Sunday's date on the watch, but just doesn't transfer. I haven't swam since then, and I might not get a chance to for a couple weeks since I'll be away. Maybe by then it will magically be fixed.

Bummer!
Good luck figuring it out. If you do figure out the fix, let me know. I sometimes have that error as well and eventually it uploads...but that doesn't satisfy my "need to know now" obsession.

By the way- I did a treadmill workout today which also didn't use the GPS, and that one was fine. So... who knows.

Well, I was away for a bit and today was the first time I was able to use the watch swimming again (I have used it for running and cycling several times since without issue) and it synched my swim workout today without issue. That old workout still won't synch, though. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, but I'm moving on.

If one muscle has restrictions it can limit the range of motion on the connecting joint and have a domino effect as that tension and restriction is carried down the chain.
