Pebble still didn't track/synch

Tried again today, this time with the phone's bluetooth off and both the Pebble and Swim.com apps not running on the phone.  Fired up the swim.com app on the watch, and got only at far as 150 yards this time before it stopped tracking.  I finished up, stopped the workout with the Pebble's left button, and turned on bluetooth on the phone, followed by the Pebble and Swim.com apps.  Nothing.

I found this help topic on Swim.com's site that has the following detail:

On the Pebble, it's important that after your workout you hit the center button on your Pebble to enter rest mode/end interval before pushing the left button on your Pebble to get a completed workout confirmation. This is especially important for Pebble users who do not use the interval function when swimming because the Pebble will record a distance of 0 if your first and only interval is not ended in rest mode.

I will try this next time, but I really, I am less concerned about not being able to synch than I am about the watch not tracking the laps properly.

If that doesn't help, I will try Misfit or one of the other couple swimming related apps I saw in the Pebble store.
