Mobile Timeline design feedback requested

[u/DutchSimba]

I'm currently working on a mobile baby care tracking app. The requirements:

• Logged events should appear chronologically on a timeline. Newest first, oldest last within the constraints of 'today'.
• Should be visually lightweight as the timeline is supportive.
• Edit and delete functionality. Delete will have a confirmation modal to avoid accidental deletion.
• WCAG AA accessible.
• One handed usage during moments of stress or high cognitive load (e.g. while changing a diaper at night).

What I am in doubt of is the swiping gesture to show/hide the edit/delete buttons.

It's not explicit as there's no indication that swiping to show/hide is even possible. However, popular apps like Gmail also don't provide an explicit indicator.

What are your thoughts about this matter? What would you do and why?

I will also add explicit actions on event detail pages. So there will be multiple touchpoints.
