Apple watch open water swim app

My open water swim app pauses after 10 seconds. I have removed the auto-pause. Do I need to have it next to my skin? it has been over my wetsuit. I need this to work, this is why I spend $300 on the watch!

The watch has to be in contact with your skin or the sensors won't work.
