Does this work in the pool? I know that the watch is water resistent, but I wonder if the transmiter is also safe if worn when swimming.

Thanks James. Upon closer look I noticed that on the transmitter is states that you can use it up to 30m. However, it's really hard to use it in the water because as you swim, water will run between the belt and your body and the transmitter will lose contact. Maybe if I'm weartin a vest over.
