Swimming MP3 player

I have a waterproof iPod. The biggest challenge was learning to get the ear pieces in right, or they would leak which reduced the sound in that ear. I absolutely love it!

I do not, but one of my MFP friends has one and loved it. I've often entertained the idea of using one when doing my laps, but I already have the goggles, cap, ear plugs, fins, water gloves....I don't think I can deal with any more accouterments. ;-) A couple of people at my pool use them, but not doing laps- they do water walking in the current pool.

You wouldn't need the earplugs though, and you can clip it on your goggles.

I have an 8GB Pyle PSWP8BK Active Action Water Proof MP3 Player.

I know the Pyle brand since I have some of their audio equipment (amps). It is OK. I use it once in a while these days. One of the earbuds tends to fall out while I'm swimming. Also, it can be difficult to get the volume set to a level that I like. Finally, I wish that I had several of these players, so I could store different types of music on the different players. Then, I could listen to different music, depending on my mood, without too much of a hassle of reloading the music.

I hear that the Finis player is the best. It uses bone conduction to transmit the sound, instead of earbuds.

The Finis player looks interesting, if a bit big. I bought the Underwater Audio iPod Shuffle, but I could not make the original earpieces stay in, regardless of which size I used. So I upgraded the earpieces to the Swimbud Sport Waterproof earpieces and I have been happy since.
