I'm a bit new to this but can you use a heart rate monitor for swimming,,, and what stops the chest strap ending up around your waist ,, apart from the fact that my waist is bigger than my chest

That being said, have you tried swimming whilst reading a watch before? It's not easy, in fact you're probably better off just going on 'rate of perceived exertion' to determine the training effect your swim is having on you.
Oh, and there's nothing to stop the belt from end up around your waist - it happens quite a lot to me, especially right at the start of a swim-phase when I'm pushing off from the side of a pool (which is obviously always the least convenient moment!). Tightening the strap helps, most of the time, but not always!
