Swimming

With Apple Watch Series 2 or later, you can choose Pool Swim or Open Water Swim. When the workout starts, the screen automatically locks to prevent accidental taps from water droplets.

Here's how to end your workout and unlock the screen:

1. Press the Digital Crown and the side button at the same time to pause your workout.
2. Dry your screen. If the screen's wet, the water might cause accidental taps.
3. Turn the Digital Crown to unlock the screen and clear any water from your Apple Watch. Your watch makes a sound, and you might feel water on your wrist.
4. Swipe right and tap End.

Here's how your Apple Watch measures each workout:

• Pool Swim: When you start a workout, be sure to accurately set the pool length to help your Apple Watch measure laps and distance. GPS isn't used during a Pool Swim, and water might prevent a heart-rate measurement, but calories, laps, and distance will still be tracked using the built-in accelerometer.
• Open Water Swim: GPS will only provide distance when you do a freestyle stroke. Water might prevent a heart-rate measurement, but calories will still be tracked using the built-in accelerometer.

Cellular coverage on cellular models of Apple Watch might be impacted during Pool Swim and Open Water Swim workouts.

Cheers!
