If you are 21, then:

absolute max heart rate is 220-21=199

DON'T go there! Your exercise max should be (absolute) * (percentage). The percentage depends on your goals and kind of training. Check with TrainerDan on this, but my understanding is that sustainable long-duration cardio should be done at 70% or so, which is

199 * 70% = 139

High-intensity cardio training, such as intervals or sprints, may be done at 80-85%, which is 159-169 bpm respectively. The duration of this kind of training should be relatively low.

cool when i swim i can get it to 140 easy and it stays there and its not to difficult either anymore. i was gonna be doubling my time/ distence to 50 min. / 1 mile. right now i do 1/2 mile in 25 min and have around 140 for at least 3/4 of the swim. it took me a bit to get to that but im there now and it seems that im doing the right thing then for my heart rate, cool
