can you use the HR monitor while swimming?

[Gogi4_12]

Tyler I use it, and didnt have any problems.

I tried the belt for swimming but got no heartbeat reading on the t4.

The suunto website says that the radio signal does not penetrate water.

This "intelligent sports watch", via a simple cell-phone like interface, offers clear advice on how to get the most out of each and every workout.

As far as I know you need the HR-belt that stores the information in the belt, after your swimming you could download them to your pc.

the memory belt works great.

[mptrew]

I agree. Also if you are doing multi discipline stuff the memory belt is also great when playing 5-a-side etc where watches aren't allowed.

Your choice of software depends on which watch you are using.

T4 is best with Training Manager Lite, but this can't download from belt.

T6 is best with Training Manager which also does belt but this won't download from T4.

Firstbeat Athlete is excellent alternative to Training Manager, does exactly same connectivity as training manager but has built in coach facility that Training Manager doesn't.

	Suunto t6 - Click for more info The Suunto t6 is one of the most exciting new personal training devices to hit the health and fitness market this year. The "t" in t6 (if you don't want to get too technical) stands for "training". It actually refers to the time interval between two heartbeats, or EPOC. Measured to the millisecond, this interval allows you (using the included PC software) to assess your current fitness, set a proper training load, measure your actual fitness gain over time, and achieve your overall fitness goals.
