The Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch (1st generation) aren’t suitable for swimming. See Important handling information for Apple Watch. What Apple Watch do you have?


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, press and hold 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.


You can try to dry your Apple Watch, following the instructions at the About Apple Watch water resistance - Apple Support and How to clean your Apple Watch - Apple Support articles. Then, try to force restart your Watch: Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for around 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.


If that doesn't help, charging it overnight might help to speed up the evaporation process. You can try to force restart again. If that doesn't help either, contact Apple Support. Sorry your Watch isn't working, hope you get this resolved soon!
