Apple Watch Series 2 and newer may be used for shallow water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, Apple Watch Series 2 and newer shouldn't be used for scuba diving, water skiing, or other activities involving high velocity water or submersion below shallow depth. 


Water resistance isn't a permanent condition and may diminish over time. Apple Watch can't be rechecked or resealed for water resistance.

A one hour swim should be OK. But this is a user-to-user forum. We cannot make any guarantees on behalf of Apple.
