Hello,
Searching around, Ive seen this is the biggest online forum for swimmers so I might as well ask here as I imagine most on here are experts....
Im looking to give as a gift in bit over a month a waterproof MP3 player. Now, she simply swims for exercise, not nothing professional or/and for competition.
She will mostly use it in pool but I think it would be nice for it to be "ocean-ready" as well although this isnt a requirement.
Size, Im not sure if it matters if it is 4GB or 8GB.
Besides that, Im not sure what else information is needed to ask.
Thank you all for your replies.
I like my iPod pretty well (and I normally shun most iOS things). It can be a little tinny sometimes, but it's great for long pool swims. The key is to get the right earpieces (which you may have to order separately - sometimes there are deals on Amazon to add them for free.) The short cord headphones work well and don't get tangled. I put my iPod on the back of my suit or goggle strap. The earbuds I used at first hurt under the cap, but the smaller, mushroom looking buds felt better. Also, a bit I found out later too, use a bit of Vaseline on the buds to help seal them and keep them in your ear better.
Please don't wear them in open water or you won't hear what's about to hit you!
