Looking for Swimming Heart Rate Monitor

Colectable93 · June 2017

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.

I think the fitbit flex 2 you can use for swimming,its water resistant for up to 50 meters. dont know how good it is as I dont swim(no where to swim close by)

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

Thanks TrutraG, I had been looking at those and wondered if anyone would mention them, just ordered one, now I just have to be patient until it arrives.

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!
