Recently updated software to OS 7 and pool swim as an activity has disappeared. There are many more options now available yet pool swim (which i used regularly) has disappeared. Seems to be a bug as this option is listed on Apple website as a valid option.
How do I resolve?
Yes, Pool Swim is available, just tested on Series 4 running watchOS 7.
Start a swimming workout
on your Apple Watch.To pause or resume your swim, press the Digital Crown and side button at the same time.
When you start a swimming workout, your Apple Watch automatically locks the screen with Water Lock to avoid accidental taps. When you’re out of the water to rest or because you’ve finished your workout, turn the Digital Crown to unlock the screen and clear any water from the speaker. You hear sounds and may feel some water on your wrist.
The Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch (1st generation) aren’t suitable for swimming. See Important handling information for Apple Watch.
I figured it out. With all the new workout functions added it has limited space and Pool swim option does not come up. However, if you go to the option labeled "Add workout" you then get a large number of other options and you can add them. They then appear back in your "workout Menu" but without this they are hidden.
It may work for you. I have Apple watch 5 and as stated it has disappeared as option. I am familiar with how it works and have been using successfully up until the upgrade to new OS 7. I know your intention was good but response did not help.
I tried the erase all data and set watch up from scratch and that and still have same problem. Also now have other problems am not able to show my apps in list format as opposed to grid. A hard press on grid screen no longer brings up the list option. I wish i could go back to OS 6
Scroll down under Letter P for Pool Swim.
Forget to mention it is also available on Watch Series 5 also running watchOS 7.
Maybe try setup your Watch again?
Have reset watch again from scratch but problem still persists . no pool swim option available
Yes, I have to do that with my Watch as well by adding Workout.
Thought that's normal to do so I didn't mentioned it.
Anyway, glad you got it sorted.
Pool Swim Function no longer appears with Upgrade to Watch OS 7
