Polar does work in the pool, it does not use ANT+ to do this, instead it uses it's own (WIND I think). The problem with trying to capture it is keeping the strap and hence the contacts in place. I have an 725x which I use occasionally in the pool, typically only if I have a trisuit on. Without some sort of top on the strap just moves too much. Maybe some tape would work. But I usually just estimate mine at 130 bpm for active laps and use that for Training Load.
