Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Lori. Absolutely! I use the Polar HR Monitor with the Wearlink Transmitter ESPECIALLY underwater. We've had great results in getting "real time" HR feedback for underwater treadmill and swim patients. Amie -------------- Original message -------------- HI everyone,Is anyone using Polar Heart Monitors (human product)? I have been looking into getting one, but was wondering if the transmitters could be used underwater? Any other heart monitors recommended? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Robby. Sure... http://www.polar-usa.us/polar-accessories.html#Polar_WearLink_Coded_Transmitter It comes standard with SOME Polar HR Monitors but not with all. It's flexible and conforms well to the chest of most dogs. I've had better luck using it in the water (because the electrodes transmit better) than with a dry dog and haven't had to clip fur except for very thick coats.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Amie, I found one on ebay; Polar FS1 or A5 HR Monitor belt and watch but is not coded or wearlink. Do you rec? or does it need to be coded for underwater? I can't seem to find any info on it. Thanks!
