The pinch which is technically not waterproof it is more realistically water resistant. If the switch got a little bit of water on it or liquid it would be fine if it was cleaned off if it was completely submerged in water water would get inside and damaged the electrical components and ruin the switch. This would also avoid any warranty for the switch.
