HRM Strap in the pool

Finally got an HRM. Had to wait until I was off the beta blocker.
I bought the FT40. The snap on transmitter.
I found that in the pool, the higher profile of the transmitter causes it twist over in the pool. I really don't feel like cranking the strap as tight as needed to keep it from twisting.
So my plan is to get a sleeveless or tank tri top to wear swimming and cover it up. The alternative is to buy a second transmitter that is the older one piece type.
This is not a problem women have if they wear a one piece suit :smile:

I did start using the HRM during other workouts and dog walking.

    I just started using my FT4 in the pool this past week. I got good reads both times. Im going to use it everytime now. Plus its nice to actually know how many calories im burning instead of relying on MFP's way overestimated count.
