Sep 9, 2016 7:13 AM in response to Country Artistby Phil0124,Since you can swim with it, I don't think water aerobics will be pose any issue.

Sep 9, 2016 7:18 AM in response to Phil0124by Country Artist,I guess my question was, at best, ambiguous. How would I set it for an swimming workout if I were doing water aerobics?

Sep 9, 2016 2:00 PM in response to Country Artistby léonie,★HelpfulApple only says there is a swimming workout app, you'll have to find the best fitting workout type, when you receive the watch: https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-series-2/
Workout AppSweat the details.
Choose from 12 indoor and outdoor workouts — including swimming, biking, running, and elliptical — then set your goals and get moving. However you work out, Apple Watch Series 2 accurately measures your movement. Select up to five metrics to view at once, automatically pause a run, and even mark segments.
Since the watch series 2 is water resistant up to 50m, you will be able to see the workout details in water and even listen to music.
Apple Watch Series 2 is rated water resistant 50 meters,1so you can leave it on when you’re in the pool or ocean. Since a speaker can’t be sealed because it needs air to produce sound, we reinvented ours — it lets water in, then uses sound vibrations to force it back out.

Sep 9, 2016 2:01 PM in response to Country Artistby Jonathan UK,★HelpfulHi
The Workout app will include two swimming activity types: Pool Swim and Open Water Swim.
Both of these new activity types are designed to calculate calories and track laps (pool) based on your swimming stroke, so would not be appropriate for water aerobics.
As water aerobics is not just continuous swimming, your best option may be to record your activity as "Other".

Sep 9, 2016 7:36 AM in response to Country Artistby Phil0124,Probably the closest match to the activity type may be Elliptical.
But it may not be 100% accurate however.

Sep 9, 2016 6:54 PM in response to Country Artistby Deep Water,I came here looking for similar information. I do deep water jogging and have been anxiously waiting for a waterproof version of the Apple Watch. I currently use a Garmin watch with heartrate monitor and am hoping the Apple Series 2 will have a setting that gives accurate feedback for non-lap swimming exercise in the pool.

Sep 9, 2016 8:28 PM in response to Country Artistby redmonkey,You can definitely keep your watch on in the pool during water aerobics. As far as I know, it won't track your activity as specifically water aerobic activity, but it must likely will monitor and count as general activity. I can bet that there will be (if not already) a water aerobic activity app soon. In fact, with Series 1, there was a swimming app, although the watch technically was not considered water proof... and I never dared try it. I think you'll be happy with your purchase and fun of tracking your activity on your watch! Cool!

Sep 9, 2016 8:41 PM in response to Deep Waterby Country Artist,I can't run any more after surgery so I do water aerobics and also run in the pool. I'm in water about 5 hours a week so I was really, really happy to see an Apple Watch that I could use.
