Apple Watch ultra -pause while swimming

Hi Shohamb,

Looking at the swimming workout page, it looks that you still need both pressed to pause a swim workout.

Swim with your Apple Watch - Apple Support

When the workout starts, the screen automatically locks to prevent accidental taps from water droplets.

• To pause your swim, press the Digital Crown and side button at the same time.

• To resume your swim, press the Digital Crown and side button again.

At this point, we'd advise to contact Apple Support so they can look into this further.

All the best.

Hi Shohamb,

It sounds like when you press the Action button, your workout is paused. Let's make sure you have the settings correct for the Action button. Use the below steps for guidance:

1. "Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch. You can also do this in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Action Button.

3. Tap the menu under Action, then select what you want the button to launch.

4. Tap the arrow in the top-left corner  to go back to Action Button settings.

5. Tap the menu under App if it appears, then select an app to perform the action. Some actions, such as Flashlight, don't show the App option.

6. Tap the arrow to go back.

7. Tap the menu under First Press if it appears, then select an action. Some features allow different actions to happen on the first and second press of the button."

Take care.
