I need to have my heart rate monitor for the bike and it would be way simplier to put the chest strap on before the swim and not have to fiddle with it in T1- not willing to "test" it though since I am close to the 1/2 IM and don't want to have to replace it so soon before the race.

If you can't wear it in the water- anyone one have any tips for getting it on quickly/efficiently?
Thanks a bunch

I don't know but I would be worried about water getting into the battery compartment. I lost the cover for my battery and although I have it taped up pretty carefully, once in awhile a little sweat gets in there and the thing stops working...
