I have a Garmin 305, use it for both running and cycling and love it. I have my first tri next weekend and want to wear the HR strap under my tri suit during the swim, can it be done? will it bugger it? Is there a strap that is waterproof and compatible for the 305? The Garmin website gives nob all info.

I've never tested this theory though, so absolve all responsibility if it drowns! Let me know how you get on if you plan to give it a go!!
Loads of people have ideas as to how to swim with a 305 (in a bag under your swim cap) but I wouldnt bother, chances are youll trash it. You can however swim with the HR strap, that will be fine.
Garmin are bringing out a 310xt which is a totally waterproof version of the 305.
Im not intending to swim with my 305, just the HR strap as this would be a major timewaster in T1.
I will have the 305 already on my bike and then will attach it to my wrist in T2 - having the HR strap on from the start. I think Ill email Garmn to confirm.
Now I have the 305 for the run and a 205 for the bike so I dont have to prat about taking it off/putting it on etc
