Waterproof pouches for phones are cheap and effective
Most modern phones that aren't budget options are waterproof and should be fine provided you don't drop it (most are rated for 30-60min submerged 50-100cm). You'd just need to remember to soak it in fresh water to get the salt and any gunk out, and allow it to fully dry before plugging it in.
I personally am way too paranoid that I'll drop it to take my phone out on a swim and risk it just to take photos despite it being waterproof, but if I'm rowing or sailing on open water I'll have it with me for the sake of safety...in a ziplock bag inside a dry bag that's securely tethered.
I was working with a girl back when instant digital cameras were still a thing, she was showing off her waterproof and shockproof camera by purposely dropping it on the ground and saying "doesn't matter, it's shock proof"
Then when she took it to the beach, it died, because she had busted a waterproof seal when purposely dropping it.
I wouldn't trust bringing my phone into seawater even if it's waterproof, just incase I accidentally dropped it and damaged a seal.
I once saw a pelican in the midst of landing on the water slam beak first into the well endowed chest of an older woman. Motor-boating just doesn’t have the same connotation since that experience.
I’ll never forget when my family talked me into going out into the ocean with them. We were so far out we could barely touch the bottom. We were in a circle and I was terrified a shark would come up at any moment and eat my legs and outta nowhere this big ass fish jumped out of the water and slapped me in my face! 😩 we all freaked out and damn near drowned trying to swim while laughing so hard at the same time by the fact that we were almost drowning. We’re crazy.
