My swimming app in Samsung Health consistently gives incorrect lap counts and distance while swimming front crawl and breaststroke, nearly 25% more lengths than I've actually swam. I've cleaned, the sensor, reset the watch and have tried GPS on and off. Nothing seems to be working. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Have you set the proper length of your pool? On the watch's exercise tile or in the watch's health app, rotate to the pool swim and scroll up til you get to the settings. Scroll til you get to the pool length setting snd change the length. The lowest you can go is 25 meters, so if your pool is less than that, that's what your laps/distance will be based on. It does not use GPS to measure distance.
