I agree, you likely paused it at times. By the way, it is not correct that only time counts where your heart rate is up during a walk or swim. If I set the Workout to Outdoor Walk Open Goal and then go for a 45 minute walk where I sit on a bench for 10 minutes half way through the walk it still tells me that my workout is 45 minutes unless I go in the settings and turn on to pause the workout if there is no movement. Same as during a pool swim, I use my Apple Watch for that all the time and I have it set for 1000 metres which is 40 lanes in a 25-metre pool. It usually takes me about 32 minutes to swim that if I don't stop, but if I stop for 5 minutes and it takes me 37 or 38 minutes it will show that total time. It's not the heart rate which matters but that setting regarding movement/motion.

I would also say that if you want a good swimming tracker, you may want to think about investing in a marlin, from: http://www.platysens.com/marlin/ as whilst I haven't had the time issue you mentioned, certainly in open water, the distance registered on the apple watch, compared to the distance I know I have done, is way off of the mark. so in future, I will probably leave the swim tracking to the marlin, and just use the apple watch for an alarm, to tell me when I need to come back to shore or what ever.

So if you stopped to check the time, your heart rate likely dropped. When I take long walks, I only get a certain amount of credit but when I use my elliptical which is constant and hard work, I get the exact time credit.
