Accessibility failures and the swim app on apple watch

Apple are really missing a trick with their users who need glasses to read.

When I use the swim app on my Ultra Watch (der cant have reading glasses in the pool) I cannot adjust the text size of the number of lengths I swim. The layout and font size in the swim app appear fixed. Screen access is blocked because of the water so its not possible to zoom the swim app.

I see posts talking of this and Apple say just increase the font size generally!

1) this does not appear to work in the swim app text

2) I don't need it larger the rest of the time I have my glasses on


The option to set the number of pieces of data appearing in the swim app and the size of the text on the screen is a must.

This looks like a lack of disability consideration in the user interface. This is very surprising for Apple but also very disappointing.
