can you swim with the lg watch sport ?

Yes... And no (mostly no). The watch is IP68 rated, which means it can stand immersion in water beyond 1m for a time specified by the manufacturer (usually 30min). HOWEVER this is for still, pure water, and pool water is neither still nor pure (chemicals from the water and, most importantly, added pressure on the seals from moving your arms underwater briskly while swimming). So while it might survive splashes and immersion for a little bit, it is not recommended that you actively use it while swimming.
