Howdy. I can't fit my swims in with our local master's team, and I have been frustrated with planning organizing my workouts. Do any of you use a heart rate monitor, or your heart rate to help you plan/do your workout? What did you read? What are good water friendly devices? Thanks. Great swim to all and to all a good night....

    I swim on my own and without a coach. I started using the workouts above. I especially like Mo Chambers workouts. As for heart rate I do check mine every so often. I don't use a heart monitor but I just count my pulse for ten seconds and then times by 6. Their is a formula you can use that you can figure the intensisty of your workout. If you would like this I can look it up and post it for you.
