Swimmers no longer have to worry about getting their Apple Watches wet.
The Apple Watch Series 2 that was launched last month features water resistance in up to 50 meters of water, so it can count laps, track an athlete’s average lap pace and auto-detect which stroke the swimmer is using in order to measure the number of calories burned. The watch functions in both the pool and open water.
To go with a swimmer’s new toy are the apps for MySwimPro, a program that syncs swim workouts from the user’s iPhone to the Apple Watch, and also Swim.
