Difficulty stopping timer during lap swimming on Apple Watch 10 Ultra Currently when I finish a swim I have to eject water from watch before I can stop the swim timer. When stopping at end of deep pool, having to hold railing with one hand and ejecting water with other hand, then trying to swipe across screen to stop the timer with wet hands, it can take 15 seconds or more. Is there a way to stop the timer when swim finished and then eject water and close off the swim? This is very annoying when trying to lower and record swim times during training. Thinking of buying a new watch just for swimming! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I believe Apple Watch can only recognize Backstroke, Kickboard or Freestyle swimming strokes. I don't believe it has an option to track Breast (I'm assuming you mean Breast Stroke, when you say "breath stroke?).
