Yep, the Polar H10 can handle swimming. The manufacturer's product description says it's water-resistant and perfect for swimming. So if you're looking to track your heart rate while you swim, it’s got you covered.
This device uses ECG tech for really accurate heart rate readings, even underwater, which can be a big help during your swim sessions. The strap is designed to stay put, giving you consistent data while you move through the water.
Just keep in mind, though, it's designed for tracking during activities like cycling, running, rowing, and swimming—not for keeping an eye on your heart rate all day long. From what we found, it does this really well, but if you're looking for something to monitor your heart rate 24/7, you might want to consider a smartwatch.
According to our research, folks are happy with how it performs in the water. Some people use it along with a compatible watch or app for more detailed swimming metrics, since it communicates real-time data via Bluetooth and ANT+ to your devices.
If you want full-on day and night heart monitoring, combining the H10's accurate workout tracking with a smartwatch might be the way to go.
But if you’re mainly after precise data while you’re swimming or doing other workouts, the Polar H10 is a solid choice.
