Request: Swim weekly totals in yards/meters?

Perhaps this is buried in a setting somewhere, apologies if so. Distance for swim workouts shows up as miles for me, both in individual workouts and in weekly totals. At least for me - miles mean nothing in swimming, most swimmers track by yards/meters. Is is possible to have individual workout totals and weekly totals show up in yards or meters?

Hope that makes sense.

I think it only uses the general Distance setting. Which presumably for you is Miles.

While in Kilometers it makes reasonable sense (easy to think about it with my 50m pool), miles to yards is not so simple.

I agree that having a separate distance setting for swim totals would be good. Maybe based on the pace settings unit.

The totals are now displayed in yards (never miles) if the sport pace units are secs/100y. An individual swim will use meters (km if lots) if the pool length is a whole number of meters or 33.3333. If the pool length is a whole number of yards then it will use yards (never miles). Otherwise it uses yards if your pace is in secs/100y. So you can mix swims in meter and yards pools and it should get it right.

I haven’t deployed this fix yet. Not a good idea to deploy when DC Rainmaker just mentioned Intervals.icu. Will deploy Thursday AM (GMT+2).

There are likely other places that need this work.

Amazing! Looking forward to it. Thanks for the great work and hope you get lots of new users from DCR.

Just noticed this change as I see my swim totals in yards. Thanks for this, @david ! and great suggestion @Sam_Bennett
