How does one pause the activity timer while swimming laps, without taking a picture?
Yes, I do as you suggested and it pauses the workout, however it takes a screen shot of my watch every time. Is there a way to stop the camera from taking the screenshot?
thank you

Hello ginnyfromkoloa,
We understand that you want to know how to pause your swim on Apple Watch, and we'd love to go over some information.
"To pause your swim, press the Digital Crown and side button at the same time." More about swimming with Apple Watch here: Swim with your Apple Watch
For more details on the steps to pause a workout in the Workout app on Apple Watch, please check out the information here: Use the Workout app on your Apple Watch
Take care!
FYI you cannot swipe to workout pause screen on swim mode. The screen locks in water proof mode.
Turn screenshots off;
Settings/general/screenshots
Or swipe right on the screen and tap pause.
