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 bought a Polar heart rate monitor about 2 months ago to help training. and it does help. instead of waitn g30 sec onds or whatever now I wait for my heart rate to hit a certain level and then I go. When I do my long sets it is neat to see what my levels are at and to download them and compare them to what they were a week ago...a month ago.
two things I like about it:
1-I know where I am at during training
2-For interval training I know when to start my sets.
Does that make sense? It makes training quantitatve.
