Hi all! I am re-entering the swimming world after a 10 year hiatus! I am in the market for a fitness tracker that will track daily movements/exercise along with my swimming. any feedback from anyone here? I had the fitbit but returned it as I am looking for something that will track swimming without me having to manually enter it and it really isn't water proof. So far, it looks like the polar loop may be a good investment? Thanks for any feedback you can provide!

  • my wife got a fitbit as part of her work wellness/fitness incentive program. that got me thinking about the same for swimming. imho, there isnt one for swimming yes there are some that claim that they are, BUT (that's a big but) the go on your wrist just like a fitbit or watch. no way no how am i wearing one that way...period! i might be able to handle a neck mount, but a chest mount wont work either. would flap like crazy on a pushoff. or the chest mount ones out there cant handle being in water or want a land based recorder via bluetooth. i think all of the options are blech! steve
