Apple Watch won't turn on after swimming and charging

My apple watch won't turn on anymore after swimming. left it to charge and still nothing. what to do? Went for swimming around 30 minutes and when I came out of the pool the screen was black, tried to turn it on, nothing. Later on when I tried again, it was showing low battery. I put it to charge but then nothing again.

The water resistance of an Apple Watch can diminish over time, depending on the age and use of the watch.

And water damage can not be fixed. Getting the watch replaced would be the only option, if you are willing to pay the service fee:
