    Hi

     

    Apple Watch Series 2 can be used for shallow water activities including pool swims and ocean swimming.

     

    The built-in Workout app includes bespoke activity / workout types for Pool Swim and Ocean Water Swim (which uses GPS to track pace and distance).

     

    When a swimming workout is started, the watch automatically locks the screen ("Water Lock") to avoid accidental taps. At the end of the workout, turning the Digital Crown (upper button) unlocks the screen and clears any water from the speaker.

     

    After swimming, be sure to clean your Apple Watch Series 2 by gently rinsing it with warm tap water. The watch and band should be dried using a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth.

     

    Note that leather bands are not water resistant, so should not be worn when swimming.
