My Apple Watch 3 was suppose to be safe to swim in. But it did mess up after going swimming in it a few times.

Admittedly, this was last year and the watch was already 4 years old.

I think you just got unlucky. It's a mixed bag with "waterproof" phones, but [flagship] smartwatches should be pretty solid. My GF and I both had Galaxy Active watches, now we have Apple watches, we go swimming and kayaking with them, zero issues.
I’m not complaining. The watch was over four years old. It is what it is. If it were newer, I would have been much less non chalant about it.

At first it started randomly calling 911 and then it just stopped charging altogether.
