  • That may be, but I've always had problems getting those kinds of headphones to fit snugly in my ears. And honestly, that's what really makes or breaks the whole swimming with music experience IMO. A mp3 player is a mp3 player when you're just going to use a playlist or shuffle. If the headphones don't fit and seal... it…

  • I wouldn't trust it for my phone. I would suggest a waterproof case for a shuffle: http://www.h2oaudio.com/store/waterproof-cases/interval-waterproof-headphone-system-4g.html I'm not suggesting buying it from that site, just an idea of what to look for.

Quality poly suits from Speedo, Areana, Tyr are going to cost more than some of the lesser known brands, but with proper care seem to hold up better.

  • I started back swimming after some 20 years of being on the bench. I was one of those swim kids that swam year round from 5 - 18. I still maintain a pretty good stroke and turn technique. When I started back I was huffing doing 50 yards free. I have 30 mins 6 days a week before work and other things to get my workout in.…
