Which heart rate monitors can I use for swimming?

Reviewer consensus

Chest straps that store data and transmit later (rather than relying on live Bluetooth, which doesn't travel through water) are the swimming-friendly option. Among the candidates, Garmin community members specifically point to the rechargeable HRM 600 for swimming, while noting the cheaper HRM 200 is heart-rate-only and not recommended for the pool.
