Swim with your Apple Watch

When you start a swimming workout, or a Scuba Dive with your Apple Watch Ultra, your screen locks to prevent accidental taps. You can see the Water Lock icon  at the top of the screen. To use your watch, you need to unlock the screen.

1. To pause your workout, press the Digital Crown and the side button at the same time.
2. Dry your screen. If your screen is wet, the water might cause accidental taps.
3. Press and hold the Digital Crown on the side of your Apple Watch until the display says Unlocked.1 Your watch makes a sound, and you might feel water on your wrist.

To lock your Apple Watch again, swipe right, then tap the Water Lock button .
