Looking for Swimming Heart Rate Monitor

Colectable93
Posts: 38 Member
I had a mini stroke April 2017, and am doing cardio and strength exercises in the pool. I have a Fitbit Charge HR but cannot take it in the water. I would like to know if anyone has some sort of tracker they use in the water that they can look and see their heart rate while working out. I am trying to make sure I hit my max exercise heart rate, and have been doing to cardio portions using the HITT method. but want to make sure I am getting optimum exposure. Any tips would be great appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

A friend of mine uses an Apple Watch to track his swim workouts. Not sure which model.

I use the polar a 360 for swimming, it is totally waterproof and numbers can be seen underwater. it does go blank but if you turn your wrist the numbers come back

Just have to update that I purchased the Polar A360 and love it. I love being able to track my heart rate while I work out and the display is so nice, and after wards I sync it with my phone and can look right away and see what my heart rate was and how long it was in each zone. I typically do not spend money on myself and this was well spent!1
