how do I log workouts with HealthKit?

To log workouts with HealthKit, you can use the WorkoutKit framework, which allows you to create and sync different types of workouts directly from your apps to the Workout app on Apple Watch. Here are some steps and features you can utilize:

1. Create Different Types of Workouts: You can build goal-based workouts (energy, time, or distance), pacer workouts, triathlon workouts (swim, bike, run), and custom workouts with structured steps (warm-up, work, recovery, cool down).

2. Custom Pool Swimming Workouts: You can specify the activity as swimming, add a display name, and pool all steps together. The Workout app will prompt for pool length to get accurate lap distance measurements and convert distances if needed.
