Hello everyone, has anyone had any experience whether you can swim with the Apple Watch SE in swimming pool? Regarding the waterproofing, I could not find a helpful answer on the Internet. Thank you.

swimming in fresh water is fine. you'll want to use the 'water lock' feature to disable the touch screen, some people have the misconception that that feature somehow makes the watch water-proof or more water-resistant than when it's off, but all it does is disable the touchscreen, and then when you turn it off, it'll try to eject any water that got inside the watch.

keep in mind that you may not get heart-rate readings during swimming workouts, though, and that apple's warranty won't cover any damage resulting from water even if they do make claims of the product's water resistance
