I've got a couple HRM's that do things I like for different activities, but neither seem to do well for Water Aerobics. Anyone have experience with a good swimming/water aerobics HRM? Thanks in advance for any help.

    I use a Polar FT40 which works well for all activities that I do including water aerobics .

    Polar FT4 works for me. I burn just under 500 calories an hour doing aqua aerobics or aqua zumba and I'm 130lbs if that helps!

    I have a Polar FT60 which is fine in the water... The water resistance on this particular model is suitable for most water activities, provided you're not scuba diving of course

    I was wondering about this as well...I have a Polar FT4 but I don't know if it is water resistant for pool exercise?

    Thanks again all just gonna add that both my Garmin and my Tech 4.0 work in the water but have some issues, the garmin forerunner defaults to return to starting point on the dial when it gets wet something to do with the bezel touch system, and the tech 4.0 strap fails after 15 mins or so, consequently I don't get complete readings all the time. and none when I want to 'Go Deep'. (watr more than 3 ft deep) So far will have to look in to the Polars, is there anyone who has tried the timex ironmans? Thanks again all, appreciate the info.
