Cardio workouts

I learned:

1) It's very hard to take your pulse when you are wet
2) It's really hard to see the second hand of the clock with my goggles on
3) I have a good recovery rate

I'm guestimating my heartrate immediately after swimming is 110-130 maybe it could be higher -I counted 100 (50 in 30 seconds), but I had to stop, remove my goggles, dry my wrist and fingers...... and while I was discovering this I realized the rate is rapidly reducing -I was counting high 20 beats in the first 15 seconds and low 20s in the second 15. Meh, it's definitely cardio enough.
