Swim distance not registering in apple watch

In my activity app, the swim function registers time and calories and heart rate but not distance - sometimes not at all and sometimes wildly underestimated. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Update: problem solved. It was user error. For those of us who need reading glasses, we can’t tell the difference between open water swim and pool swim when we don’t have our glasses on. Duh. Sorry for the false alarm.
