I just bought an Apple Watch Ultra - mainly to use while doing pool swimming workouts. Is there a way to see your current heart rate during the swim workout? All of the other fitness activities I’ve looked at (biking, running, strength training) show the heart rate during the workout, but the swimming only shows the heart rate ranges after the workout.
Apple Watch Ultra
Go to Workout on your Apple Watch Ultra
Find “Pool Swim” and click on the 3 dots on the upper right
Now click on the pencil icon on the upper right
Click on “Workout Views”. Now you can customize view metrics and turn on/off different screens

Hello seniorswimmer,
Per the article Swim with your Apple Watch - Apple Support, "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." So you will not be able to view the heart rate while the workout is enabled.
Cheers!
