Anyone know of a HRM that will alert you while actually swimming (not when standing in shallow end) if you go above or below your target zone? The Mio Fuse? I can't find a good review of someone swimming with it. All the other HRMs seem to need to be out of the water to send readings from the chest strap to the watch and have audible alarms that I know I wouldn't hear while swimming anyway.
@habu: You can set your own zone if you have one you want to train in. That's what I did.
@james: I'm looking to give this method a shot. I mainly train for ows and want to do longer continuous swims and have an idea that I'm in my zone. Same as running with a hrm, which I'm also doing with the Mio. The Mio is optical and the water doesn't seem to have any effect. I strap it down tight and wear it higher up on the wrist as directed. So far so good but I need to lower the zone for swimming.
