Swimmers no longer have to worry about getting their Apple Watches wet.

The Apple Watch Series 2, which was launched last month, is water resistant to 50 meters. It can also count laps, track an athlete’s average lap pace and detect which stroke the swimmer is using in order to measure the number of calories burned.

To go along with this new swimmer’s toy are the apps for MySwimPro, a program that syncs swim workouts from the user’s iPhone to the Apple Watch, and also Swim.
