The weather's getting nicer so i wanted to try doing laps outside in the pool to workout and work on my tan :laugh:

Has anyone used their HRM underwater? Mine is an F6. its supposed to be waterproof but from what i understand, youre not supposed to push any of the buttons while underwater.

thank you

:heart: aisha

    I've got an FT7, and I've used it in the pool and it survived :smile:
    But I agree that pushing the buttons underwater is probably not a good idea (that's what the manual said, at any rate). It didn't stop me from lifting my wrist out of the pool to push buttons, though, hehe.
    Oh, and I always make sure to wash the chest strap after, to get rid of the chemicals.

    Happy swimming!

    I have a Polar F6 and use it in the pool everyday. All of my workouts are done in the pool and I have yet to have a problem. I don't have a problem with the strap staying in place either.

    So go ahead and jump into the pool!!
