The Watch Active2 is IP68, which means it's water
resistant, but it's not guaranteed to be water
proof. IP ratings are from testing under very specific conditions. If you exceeded those specific conditions, or if the watch had sustained any kind of damage before, there's more chance water might penetrate into the watch.
