Strava for open water swimmin

Has anyone used your (waterproof-moisture protected) cell phone and the Strava app for recording open water swimming? I'm just wondering how the GPS function works at water level. I have a Garmin FR-10...it's waterproof but intended for overland applications, and not designed to operate (correctly) at water level. Consequently the graphic of my swim routes looks like a zigzag, and adds as much as a mile to a two-mile swim. Dan

  • I haven't used my phone and Strava, but I do use the Garmin FR-10 mounted in the back of my cap (was it you who suggested this?), and it maps my swims pretty accurately. I was going to try Strava in a tow float soon.
