    I would not recommend using it in water. The water resistance should be considered more of an extra layer of protection in case you accidentally get it wet. On the bottom of the technical specifications page for the iPhone 7 (http://www.apple.com/iphone-7/specs/), it says the following:

    "iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529. Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty."
