Hi

Swimming workouts

Starting a swimming workout in the Workout app on Apple Watch Series 2 models automatically enables Water Lock, which locks the screen to prevent accidental interactions during your workout.

To finish your workout and expel any water:

• Press the Digital Crown and the side button at the same time (which pauses the workout).
• Turn the Digital Crown, which unlocks the screen and clears any water from inside the watch's speaker (it may make a sound).
• Swipe right and tap on End.

Other swimming

If you plan to get your Apple Watch Series 2 wet under other circumstances than when tracking a swimming workout - such as during general wear in a pool - you can manually lock the screen first and then clear water from the speaker afterwards:

• Swipe up from the bottom of the watch face to open Control Center > tap on Water Lock to lock the screen.
• When finished: turn the Digital Crown to unlock the screen and to clear water from the speaker.
• The lock can also be enabled and immediately unlocked after unexpected water exposure to expel any water.

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.
