According to the directions from the Apple support team, you should not apply soap, perfumes, deodorants, sanitizers, shampoo, hair serum, conditioners, body lotions, etc. to Apple watches. They might damage the water seals and acoustic membranes if you expose your Apple smartwatch to any of the above-mentioned items.
After a swim, wash the Apple watch with warm tap water and pat dry with a lint-free microfiber cloth. Swimming pools are often treated with bleach and other chemicals to keep the bacteria and other micro-organisms at bay. They might be harmful to the metallic case or the strap of your Apple watch.
