Swimming mp3 player

Finding a swimming mp3 player is a challenge many swimmers have faced in the past.  It goes without saying that listening to music, while under-water raises several challenges.  It is practically impossible to wear headphones underwater without sacrificing sound quality.  When you transmit sound through the air or water, the outcome is muffled noise –the SwiMP3 swimming mp3 player relies on your cheek bones to carry the sound to your ears.  The resulting sounds are a very crisp and clear sound that surprises all first time users.  This patented sound technology is great news for those looking to listen to music underwater, after all; why should runners be the only athletes to be able to listen to music while working out?

When it comes to the traditional features of an mp3 player, the SwiMP3 swimming mp3 player really shines.  Some of the great features this swimming mp3 player has include:

  • Rechargeable battery that lasts up to 8 hours on a charge.
  • Supports both MP3 and WMA sound files.
  • Music Controls (built into side panel) include:
    • Volume
    • Shuffle
    • Pause / Resume
    • Attaches easily to your swim goggles or snorkeling mask.
    • Depending on model; the 256 MB model holds 60 songs while the 1 Gig model holds about 240 songs.

These underwater mp3 players are designed for the serious athlete all the way down to the recreational swimmer.  Swimming is an excellent form of exercise and with this innovative underwater mp3 design, you don’t have to take laps in the pool with boredom anymore.  Now scuba diving can be even more enjoyable with your favorite tunes (although below 10′ of water the water pressure affects all underwater mp3 players ability to transmit sound – so just don’t use it below that level).

How deep under the water dose it support?

This is what the manufacturer of the Swimp3 states: ” Although the SwiMP3 player will be waterproof beyond 10 feet, this is the point at which the water pressure prevents the speakers from vibrating enough to transmit sound.” Hope that helps answer your question.

If it is only plugged in long enough to transfer the songs, I don’t believe you will put much of a charge into the battery. Please let me know if I misunderstood your questions.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
