I’ve always thought the idea of listening to music while swimming would be cool. Especially since it’s the most boring kind of training for me. When is a better time for a little music than when you really can’t see anything anyway?
Swim Man is selling a waterproof iPod Shuffle, but it’s not some bulky case you have to stick your shuffle in. They waterproof from the inside out. So it retains the slick Apple form and function, but now you can take it up to 10 feet under the wet stuff.
Super cool and kinda’ pricey at $250.

Don’t bother with this one. Mine leaked the moment I got into the pool. The company still says it’s my fault and won’t fulfill the warranty.
dont bother this is shit i took it out in my pool it idnt even go completely under the water before it stopped working i had to let it dry out for 2 days then it was good but im never taking it in water again 250 of my money wasted
I have been using swimman for almost five years I own three, two of the shuffles and one old style. I had one failure of a shuffle replaced promptly without question. The second failure was just recently the insulation is cracking on the ear bud, from exposure to chlorine I suspect. This device is fantastic I use one four days a week for 40 minutes I listen to audio books and music and the time flies by. I have an extra for days when the battery needs charging and I get caught of guard,
The sound is great, the ear buds fit my ears and leak only occasionally requiring to stop for a few seconds clear my ears and swim away. The battery last a long time about a dozen 40 minute sessions. Totally transformed my swimming, six years ago I could barley swim and now 4 miles a week, and a great deal of credit goes to swimman
Thanks
I have had my swimman for three years, I LOVE IT so Much. There’s nothing better then swimming to music especially while I’m doing laps.
The company is The BEST. When you spend 250 bucks on a Water Proofed MP3 Player and headset, You want the BEST and they say it comes with a warranty and they mean it. I Smashed mine and they still replaced it with no Q’s asked. Top NOTCH to me.
And for the Headsets, Better SOUND then BOSE.
Very NICE Mids and Highs with a Sweet Low End to Beat.
