Re: Swimming with an Apple watch

[Tai Tomasi]

I swim with my watch.  Yes, you will want to activate the pool swim workout. You have to choose the yardage of your pool, and once you do that, there will be a screen that describes what happens to the touchscreen and that it is disabled. Don’t do like I did and start swimming before you click OK on the screen, because the work out will not begin and the touchscreen will not be locked. Water lock is automatically turned on when you start this workout type. I’m running a new model, so I’m not sure about how to take the water lock off. It used to be that you would turn the crown to turn the water lock off after the work out. However, I think now you just hold down the crown and water lock will be turned off once you finish the work out.  Tai Tomasi, J.D., M.P.A. Email: tai.toma...@gmail.com Sent from my iPhone.

If so, I have a couple questions because I am going to finally get an opportunity to swim several times a week. I have the series 6, Wi-Fi model.  NO Cellular.. Do I need to do anything in particular to lock the watch or anything before getting in the water? I checked out the workouts and the pool swimming looks like what I would use.  Any tips from people who have done this would be appreciated. I won’t have my phone on me, of course, will that matter?  Thanks,   Richard, USA. “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.”  --  Jane Wagner from The Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe   My web site: https://www.turner42.com   -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
