I'm contemplating many hours - well, enough - to come, swimming up and down my local pool and have come across a few MP3 players for sale on the internet which claim to be suitable for swimming. There's the Oregan Scientific, the SwiMP3 and the Freestyle Audio MP3 player which all say you can swim with them, while the Apple Ipod has waterproof cases although the comments on its own website say it is useless for swimming! Does anyone had any experience with these and could recommend any? I'm completely new to MP3s - I prefer appreciating my surroundings while running and cycling - but find swimming lengths incredibly tedious and could do with a bit of a lift!

Never thought about using MP3 players whilst swimming. I cant offer any advice about what to buy as I am also new to the whole concept. However, I wear ordinary ear plugs for pool sessions to prevent "squelchy" ears for hours on end after training. Does the use of an MP3 player mean that I could have the benefit of ear protection as well as musical distraction from the pain of training??
Nice thought if it works.

Not sure about how the whole headfone thing will work though
there is an MP3 player made specificaly for swimming. It is called SwimP3. It uses bone conductivity. The sound travels thru your jaw and into your inner ear. There is no distortion of sound. I have one, and it is great. Not sure if they are available in UK. I live in USA
I have been using h2oaudio cases with nano for a year. it works wonder.. www.h2oaudio.com
Very Good quality of sound, highly recommended...
Happy laps!
On another note Just watched Vikki Pendleton take the world champ track cycling, well done that girl.
