is oura ring waterproof for real or did i mess up???

i need someone to tell me if i just ruined my oura ring, my parents got me the gen 4 black one for christmas and ive been wearing it 24/7. today i completely forgot i had it on and jumped in my friends pool, stayed in for like an hour playing pool volleyball, then took a HOT shower after to rinse off the chlorine. tried googling is oura ring waterproof but i dont know…the official site says water resistant to 100 meters which sounds insane?? but reddit posts say the sensors get messed up in pools and chlorine destroys the coating. one girl said hers stopped reading her heart rate after one swim. it still SEEMS to be working in the app but how do i know if its actually accurate or just showing random numbers now..
is oura ring waterproof enough for pool swimming or did i actually kill it??? also do i need to do anything special to dry it out or is that just an iphone myth lol
