    Same as a watch, only if it's designed to. Check out reviews for consumers experiences with the product in the water too. Some lose signal too easily.

    Something I want to know too! Can anyone recommend a good HRM that is effective in water?

    I have the Polar F6 and wear it in the pool all the time it works great, I know several polar models are waterproof.

    I have a Polar FT 40 and LOVE it, but I'm not sure if it's waterproof. I'm sure it has something to that effect in the pages and pages of instructions lol
