Just ordered myself a finis swimp3 player. Does anyone on here own one, and if so how do they rate them? I'm guessing the removal of earphones from the equasion makes for a better experience in the water.
Cheers

I have one and used it for a couple months before I started swimming with a team. It didn't hold a lot of music but it was enough for one workout anyway. Once you get bored of the songs on it, you get into a music management issue and Itunes doesn't really play well with non-Apple products. A good media manager might help but I don't have one. Making it play/pause/skip/volume control was a bit convoluted. Sound quality is pretty good but you still get underwater noises in the background.
Once I started swimming with a team, it became obsolete. You just can't hear instructions, idle chat between sets, etc. with music blaring in your ears.
Great toy for long solo swims. I'd definitely use mine more if I did more open water training. Ok for solo interval training but I like to focus more on what I'm doing when I'm swimming intervals. Not practical for team interval training.
