Communication during a swim workout.

OK - here's a tough problem but I'll ask it anyway. I occasionally need to be "on call" with my job. That means I have to be contactable via cell phone. So -- how can I be contacted if I'm swimming laps? I can park my cell phone on the pool deck with a towel covering it and then check it but that means I can't do an extended # of laps. => Is there any apparatus that would allow me to wear an earbud to let me know the phone on the pool deck is ringing so I can then immediately swim back to answer? Kinda like a "Bluetooth" ear receiver? Any thoughts? Thank you.

    I too have to be on-call. I use zip-lock bag at wall and check that it hasn't rang at every interval - I also have coach listen for it and stop me - and sometimes coach will keep in his pocket and stop me if it rings. Make sure zip-lock works - I have ruined one phone already with the humidity that worked into the bag...
