For cycling and running (though I would think not swimming so much?) you can get a sports bra with the hr monitor sensors built right in! I'm guessing you probably do always put on a bra so it wouldn't be any more hassle...
I believe the bra's are Polar specific - though I've found that it doesn't always matter which strap you are using if your monitor isn't a really fancy coded one.

I believe I saw one with a tunnel to fit the strap - have a look for them. It's really not that much of a hassle once you have the thing packed in your gym bag....

Just interviewed a possible coach at The Sport Factory... and the second thing out of his mouth was that I needed to get a HR monitor.
UGH!
I really, really, really don't want one!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Many people train on perceived exertion ... if you really don't want a HR monitor, then I'd say look for a coach that will go by PE instead.
I got one mainly because I think it's fun because I feel more like a "real" athlete AND I have a tendency just to go as hard as I can every single workout for as long as I can. I needed to tone it down.~ Susie
"Keep plugging along. The finish line is getting closer with every step. When you see it, you won't remember that you are hurting, that anything has gone wrong, or just how slow or fast you are.
You will just know that you are going to finish and that was what you set out to do."
