If I use the Apple training app on Apple Watch, indoor trainings like swimming in a pool will also store a location which I can see later in the Fitness app on the iPhone.

My question: How do I store these location information with my own workout app on the watch?

I tried creating a HKWorkoutRoute with the HKWorkoutRouteBuilder and added only one location. It saves fine, but the location does not appear in the Fitness app.

If I query a workout recorded with the Apple training app on the iPhone, it also looks like there is no connected HKWorkoutRoute data stored.

I also can not find any metadata key or something which I can use instead.

Hi Andre. I consulted with the HealthKit team.

Please file an enhancement request regarding storing the location of the swim workout.
The stroke style should be recognized by HealthKit automatically, but if this is not working, please file a bug report.
Please also file an enhancement request regarding swim workouts that don't have any arm movements.

I hope this information is helpful to you.
