Best Swimming MP3 Player Options?

znaoiec

I am interested in listening to music while swimming or even an audio book if possible. I am not really interested in putting any of my current technology into a waterproof container but would rather purchase some thing specifically made for swimming. I am a Mac person so compatibility with iTunes is helpful. One product I am looking at is a waterproof iPod shuffle from Waterfi. I wonder if anyone has had any experience with this product or any recommendations of a different product that they have used successfully in the pool. Thanks!

I use a much cheaper option, this little dude.

It's *super* basic, works basically like a flash drive. You drag and drop the songs you want onto its folder, and it plays them in alphabetical order by file name. (I renamed the files with numbers to get the order I want).

The headphones it comes with could be better, but they are fine for my purposes and not uncomfortable.

Thanks! This is great. I definitely like the price a lot better. I just got a tutorial from my more tech savvy son on how to get around the iTunes issue so I could use a product like this.

Thanks for this, I just got back from swimming and was thinking of looking into this also. Although, I go back and forth, swimming is the one time my mind is mostly blank, I don't think about work or anything else, music might change that.
