Apple says they are not water resistant (right... woven nylon leaks) but it is unlikely to cause a problem and many users have done it without disasters. Remember to rinse the watch thoroughly in fresh water after your swim, and flush all the chlorine away particularly around the band mountings onto the case.

Thank you for the quick and thorough response. I do water aerobics 3-4 times a week. I am considering the Apple Watch Series 4, I think to be announced tomorrow, but having a hard time deciding between an all out Apple Smartwatch vs. the new Fitbit Charge 3 just coming out as well. I won’t something to wear almost 24x7, but I’m concerned about the size of the Apple Watch.
