Is the Citizen AN8230-59E good for swimming?

Yes. It is rated to 100 meters, which covers swimming and snorkeling at the surface. It is not a dive watch, so avoid deep diving.

Does it have a sapphire crystal?

No. It uses mineral crystal, which resists knocks but scratches more easily than sapphire. Expect to polish or replace it after years of hard wear.

Citizen rates Caliber 0520 to about ±20 seconds per month. That is typical for a quartz chronograph and far tighter than most mechanical watches.

It wears large. A 44mm steel case suits wrists roughly 7 inches and up; smaller wrists may find it oversized and top-heavy.

They run the stopwatch: start, stop and reset. The subdials track elapsed seconds and minutes, separate from normal timekeeping.
