personally, I would say leave it alone when doing the swim, as unless you can get it to tell you the time by vibration mode, when swimming the speaker doesn't work very well anyway. I would also say that if you want a good swimming tracker, you may want to think about investing in a marlin, from: http://www.platysens.com/marlin/ as whilst I haven't had the time issue you mentioned, certainly in open water, the distance registered on the apple watch, compared to the distance I know I have done, is way off of the mark. so in future, I will probably leave the swim tracking to the marlin, and just use the apple watch for an alarm, to tell me when I need to come back to shore or what ever.

So if you stopped to check the time, your heart rate likely dropped. When I take long walks, I only get a certain amount of credit but when I use my elliptical which is constant and hard work, I get the exact time credit.
