During the race just for the data for HR (and I wear the strap during the swim). I used to monitor my HR during my running days until the first race when I realized at some point to maintain my pace I had to increase my effort (hitting the wall/out of shape?) which increased my HR. So now I use the pace!

Just make sure your HRM is made to withstand water.  I have a "cheapie" Polar F6 and it withstands water up to 30 feet deep.

Now, of course, if I'm 30 feet deep, I've got bigger problems than worrying about my HRM malfunctioning.
