Apple Watch Series 7
What’s the battery health being shown? 80% or lower?
On Watch: Settings > General > Battery > Battery Health
A marginal battery might well just drop out, if it gets cold.
It's possible that your Apple Watch is experiencing issues due to the colder water temperature. Cold water can affect electronic devices, causing them to shut down. Ensure your watch is updated to the latest software version, and if the problem persists, consider contacting Apple Support for assistance.

Nonsense. This happened to me in water of 26 degrees - my body temp is 36 so it definitely wasn’t too hot either. Why have swimming on the activity app if you can’t swim with it Apple?
Assuming a swimming-rated Apple Watch, 26℃ swimming should not cause a battery issue, though temperature still seems the most likely cause of the symptoms reported by the various folks in this thread.
I’ve swum in water only slightly warmer, and with no issues.
Contact Apple Support.
The battery health estimate mentioned earlier may well be incorrect and the battery more marginal, or your (unmentioned) battery health may be 80% or lower and might actually be marginal.
Apple reports that the temperature is with in the area where the watch should not go off. It has all its updates and was a full battery
I just looked at battery health and it’s 87.5% so it is a good one and the watch was fully charged all updates been done
thank you
