I've swam before but yesterday my watch went dead and won't start after going in the pool. Any help please, thank you.

Hi @SteveM1 - if you look in the forums this is quite a common problem as the seals aren't that reliable, certainly over time, especially if exposed to hot water, heat or detergents.
You can try to dry it out for a week in a bag of rice to see if it will recover but even if it does it may not work well, mine requires charging more than once a day.
If it gets hot when charging stop immediately as it can be dangerous and there may be sever internal damage.
If it's under warranty, 1 to 2 years depending on country law, the quickest way to resolve it is to take it back to where you bought if for replacement.
