Hello Kona-Kros,
Great question! Learn more about this awesome watch here: Apple Watch Series 8. It explains: "Apple Watch is rated water resistant 50 meters. Perfect for swimming, surfing, or water balloon fights."
At the bottom of the page, it gives more detail on the water resistance:
"Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE have a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that they may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, they should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can diminish over time. For additional information see About Apple Watch water resistance. Series 8 is also rated IP6X dust resistant."
