Listening To Music While Swimming

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

If you enjoy swimming - either in the pool or in the ocean - you may have spent years wishing that there was a way to listen to music while you were underwater; but what you might not have known is that this technology now exists! While there are "waterproof cases" for your regular MP3 (which can be a bit scary, in case some water slips in and ruins your precious MP3 player), there are also now MP3 players that are waterproof themselves!

SwiMP3 Player: The SwiMP3 player is one of the forerunners in the "music underwater" market, and the best part of purchasing their MP3 player is that it is truly and 100% waterproof; some of the issues with the SwiMP3, however, include the fact that some people feel the audio is not great when they are swimming, the device does not do a great job holding the charge, and the interface on the device is not especially user-friendly. Furthermore, the SwiMP3 does not allow you to select which songs you are listening to, as it plays the songs in the order in which they were uploaded, allowing you only to skip forward and back.

Speedo Aquabeat: Years ago, Speedo made waves by introducing a radio that worked underwater, and they have followed suit with the Aquabeat, which allows you to store up to 500 songs that you can listen to underwater; the battery life and sound quality on the Aquabeat are considered to be better than what you will find from the SwiMP3, but one problem the Aquabeat has had is with the headphones wearing out quickly!

H20Friendly iPod Shuffle: If you don't mind spending a bit more money for the absolute best in underwater audio, try out the iPod Shuffle that has been waterproofed by H20Friendly; this product works just like a regular iPod Shuffle, except that it is - of course - completely waterproof!

Once you have decided which underwater MP3 player is the right fit for you, you will be able to swim your laps and engage in all your underwater workouts - with the benefit of music to keep you going!
