Issues with Pebble's swim tracking

I guess I jinxed it.  After a flawless first session tracking my swim with the Pebble, the next two workouts did not get tracked or synched.  Both times, the watch got stuck at 450yards.  The first time I tried toggling a rest, which managed to get the app to track another 100 yards, but then it stopped again.  I tried more buttons and accidentally exited, so it did not have a chance to upload.  Same story today, except I didn't touch anything when it got stuck and ended the workout properly.  It only tracked 450 yards, and didn't upload either.

No clue why the Pebble stopped after 450 yards.  I had the Swim.com companion app open on my phone both times (not sure about the first workout), so I am wondering if Pebble was trying to bluetooth to my phone that was in my bag poolside.  Next time I will try with the phone's bluetooth off and turn it back on once the workout is over.

Still optimistic, I just wish it wasn't so fiddly to get it to work.
