Congrats, you shouldn't have to worry about service for 5+ years. Enjoy!

Since you swim with it a few times a week, you may want to have it pressure tested 1 or 2 times per year. The experts will correctly give you the number.

Stop by your local AD and find out if there is someone locally that they recommend. Personally, I wouldn't have it pressure tested until it is at least 3 years old, and then I wouldn't have it tested more than 1x per year. I have waited until the watch is 5 years old before having it pressure tested.

DEFINITELY do not take it to one of the mall knuckleheads to have it done.
