Double updloads of swim workouts

So I just joined the platform and I realy like it.
Still I have a little problem when it comes to synching my activites: I enabled uploads from Garmin and Strava (because Zwift workouts are not uploaded by Garmin) and it should delete any double sessions coming from Strava (in theory, right?), however that’s not the case, only for swims though. It’s even more confusing that some swims are only uploaded once, even though you can find them on both strava and garmin.

This bug has been around for a little while. I will have another shot and trying to figure it out.

Please drop me a mail next time it happens but leave the duplicate swims as is. Tx.

Hi Leon and David,
I’m facing same issue now.

From Garmin data
https://intervals.icu/activities/i2754426

From Strava data

It is same workout data in overview, but it has different intervals/lap data in contents.
If you need any additional information, please let me know.

I think I have fixed this. Tx for the info.

Hello, I’ve started to have this same problem. Had some swims in pool, there were no problems, but last week it started to double swims. I’ve not been changing settings. any ideas how to fix it? Thanks.

Although this was reported as fixed in Dec '21, there was another report from Feb. '24 which also didn’t get a reply, in addition to the one above:

I’m not sure if this is a regression or an intermittent problem or …, but I’m seeing similar issues with my swims recently where they’re not getting deduped between Garmin and Strava. I cleaned up some earlier ones, but here’s a pair from today:

Garmin - Intervals.icu
Strava - Intervals.icu

They have identical clock times and, because they’re duplicated, the load is 2x what it should be. Clearly I didn’t do two simultaneous workouts.

Actually the Strava version looks kind of wacky like it’s gone through some kind of post-processing, because each interval + rest is averaged out and the distance is reported as 0.56 mi vs 1,000 yds. Given that I guess one solution would be to just not import swims from Strava if I can control that on a per-sport basis.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this, ideally automatically and with minimal effort?

If you always record with Garmin, you could set a filter for Strava in the settings to not download swim activities.
