There are a plethora of wearable fitness trackers available in the market that can monitor sleep, count calories, track steps, and keep a check on the heart rate. However, when it comes to trackers for underwater activities, finding a good one can be challenging. For example, a good fitness tracker for swimmers must be waterproof and not just water-resistant.

These, along with some other features, are extremely important in a fitness tracker for those who swim professionally or as part of their fitness routine. Considering all these, here are the top-brand wearable technology fitness trackers for swimmers.
