I'm fairly new to swimming. I've used HR monitors in the past for running, and it seems to me that they would be very effective in swimming, especially if your focus is distance swimming. But I've seen quite a few posts, especially in some of the tri-bashing threads, that are quite derisive on the subject.
Does anyone have any serious information on the use of HR monitors in swimming? Do the top swimmers use them at all?

I have used and competed with heart rate monitors in swimming competition. I believe one of my articles is on the USMS web site as well as on www.breaststroke.info
