Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm rubbish and I delete after I have read my emails even in gmail... hopefully Fetch will send it again :)

I only have the one county badge so far... need to get my travelling shoes on...

Question about logging swimming on fetch, I have a Garmin vivoactive 3... which I can log swimming with, but its not a GPS activity. So it won't work for things like WSW's grrr How can I log my swim, when I finally find some suitable water to play in? Can I log it as a run? And then change the activity type in fetch to swim? Would that work? (So that it gets the GPS trace and location first then changes the activity type).

Em, I guess it might work logging as a run, but the swimming profiles on Garmins that support it are different because GPS doesn't work under water so they need to get small snatches of GPS when the hand is above water and stitch it together. I guess the only way of knowing is try it and see.

Thanks Um...

I mailed back... it didn't work, but on further investigation that's because I already have the badge! I'm beginning to think I should go back to bed, or maybe I just need another coffee!

Thank you though, you are a wonderful fetchie :)

I was robbed of the 800 metre swimming badge by a dodgy GPS trace back in 2017. I did a 1km open water swimming race but my watch only credited me with about 700m.

I will have to get them properly at some point
