how to use apple watch for water aerobics 

How do I use Apple Watch in water?

Do you have an Apple Watch 2 or newer? In this case, you will never fear water damage if you suddenly find yourself in the rain. Indeed, the Apple Watch is fully waterproof. In fact, you can swim up to 50 meters deep with Apple Watch. We'll show you how to use your Apple Watch in water.

Start swimming training

Start a swimming exercise on Apple Watch

Starting a workout is very easy. There are two standard for swimming on the Apple Watch: one in open water and one dedicated to the pool.

Tap the Digital Crown and open the Apple Watch menu.

Open the app provided for training. It's a green icon with a jogger.

Choose the appropriate training: open water or swimming pool.

Start the workout by tapping on it.

During your training

Swimming training data

The workout begins immediately and Apple Watch records your data. Apple Watch displays your data, but you can no longer use it. When you receive messages, you cannot reply to them. To protect your watch underwater, the lock activates automatically. Did you take a short break in between? In this case, you don't have to suspend the Apple Watch. It will automatically recognize the break. When you are finished and the workout ends, turn the Digital Crown until Apple Watch beeps. This will drain the water from the speaker.

What is being measured?

Measurement during swimming training

Then view the statistics on your iPhone. GPS is not working in the pool and the water may block your heart rate reading. What does Apple Watch measure in the pool? Well, for example, calories consumed, number of lengths and distance traveled. The integrated accelerometer does this. The GPS works in open water but only in free swimming.

Swimming without starting a workout

Lock on Apple Watch

Going to the pool to do a few lengths is the start of a training session. If it's more like wading in the pool on vacation, you can't call it training. If you still want to protect your Apple Watch from water, you can activate the lock manually.

Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and open Control Center.

Tap on the drop.

The lock is then activated.

Unlocking

Unlocking on Apple Watch

When the lock is on, you can use your Apple Watch worry-free underwater. To cancel the lock, turn the Digital Crown until the drop fills the circle and a beep sounds. Then the speaker will blow into the sound inputs and remove the remaining water. The other ports on Apple Watch are completely waterproof.

Forgot to lock the screen?

Forgot to lock the screen? It is not a disaster. When you get out of the water, activate the lock and release it. Apple Watch will therefore always remove the remaining water from the sound inputs.
