Previously, the maximum power setting limit I could use on the endless pool with the HR monitor was about 60 - and even that was with the strap on pretty tight. I tried a couple times at 70, but it would just slide too far off and be unable to get a reading. So any time I had done intervals recently, I just didn't bother to use the HR monitor.
This morning I got a swimming top (actually, a triathlon top - but whatever). I wanted something that would help keep the strap from being exposed to the counter current (which was the main reason why it wouldn't stay in place), but it can also double as a top that I can wear during all three events of a triathlon. So with the top, I can now get some HR information during these interval swim workouts.
Todays workout was three intervals at 70, followed by three intervals at 60, with one minute rest in between (except for after the third interval, where I took 90 seconds rest). Heart rates given are end-of-interval rates, as opposed to average.
