I swim on my own Monday nights and would like to break up the monotony with a mp3 player. Anyone have any experience with these. I know when they first came out they were either a ton of $$$ or wore totally worthless.

    Not sure about waterproof mp3 players, but a couple of years ago I bought a waterproof case for my mom's iPhone, as she is a swimmer too. It has an arm band and waterproof ear buds. She really likes it. Maybe search on Amazon?

    I'm hesitant to use a waterproof case for my iPhone because I've read horror stories about them not working and don't want to shell out another $700 for a new phone. I use a SwimP3 and love it. Sound quality is pretty good - better than plain waterproof ear buds. And since I swim in an Endless Pool, I'd be bored to tears without something to listen to.

    Sony Walkman NWZW273S 4 GB Waterproof Sports MP3 Player (Black) with Swimming Earbuds is the third type I've had and by far the best. I love love love it. No more earbuds on cords falling out!

    Just don't expect it to be an underwater ipod - it's more like an underwater flash drive that plays music. But, hooray for listening to tunes while swimming!

    ^ This.

    I have a pair for swimming and I love it. Just make sure if you're swimming in salt water pool to rinse them out afterward. They'll last longer.
