how to register a swim on apple watch

When I start walking my watch asks if I want to keep the score.

When I'm on the cross trainer at the fitness centre my watch asks the same.

In those cases I tap on the screen and the watch starts counting.

When I'm swimming the watch 'sees' I'm swimming and I can tap all I want but it doesn't respond. What do I do wrong?

Hi Rene van den Abeelen,


If the screen or your hands are wet or underwater you won't be able to interact with the touch screen on your Apple Watch. You can try drying your hands for a moment or queuing up the workout prior to starting.


Take care.
