Hello JaysonK_8239,


Keep in mind that an Apple Watch is water resistant, not water proof. There is a difference.


The page that you came from About Apple Watch water resistance - Apple Support, has information regarding water use and your Apple Watch.


Of particular interest would be this paragraph:


Apple Watch Series 2 and later can be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean, but you shouldn't use models other than Apple Watch Ultra for diving, water skiing, or other activities involving submersion below shallow depth or high-velocity water.


Have a good day.
