13 years ago, I did my last RAFFT a few weeks before my PVR kicked in. In those days, those of us over A Certain Age were required to wear cardiac monitors whilst riding the 'bicycle to nowhere'.

The last time I did a swimming test was in 1977, despite the subsequent efforts of eager-beaver CSROs to make periodic dinghy drills more irksome than necessary.

Are those more senior in age made to splash about in the pool wearing cardiac monitors nowadays? If not, in this risk-averse era, why not?
