I have a Garmin Swim 2 also.  However going on vacation and would like all the additional features of the S70. However will spend a lot of time in the ocean and don't want to mess up the S70

    The S70 is not the watch I would choose to take with me for marine sports, even for leisure.
    Nothing in the S70 fits with marine activities.

    The Approach S70 has a water rating of 5ATM. 

    Garmin products rated at 5ATM are designed as suitable for the following: 

    • Withstands pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 meters
    • For use with splashes, rain or snow, showering, swimming, diving into water, snorkeling.

    Garmin products with a 5ATM water rating are not suitable for use with: 

    • Tank diving. 
    • Button operation while watch is submerged under water. 
    • High-speed water sports
