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.

Please don't ask the lifeguards to hold your phone. It will jeopardize patron safety and could cost the friendly lifeguard his or her job.
If your phone works on the pool deck, put it in a zip lock bag or case and leave it in the gutter at the end of your lane. Do an open turn once in a while so you can see the phone. If it lights-up get out and answer it.
If your phone doesn't work on the pool deck, call "work" before you go in to swim and leave the pool's front desk phone number. As you check in at the desk, tell them you are on call, and ask them to come get you if they get a call for you.
