Has anyone tried this or seen it, or known someone to use it? It seems like a much cheaper alternative to the finis swimp3. I'm tempted to get this, as I have been considering the swimp3, but then again, I think this might be somewhere where more $$ equates to more satisfaction?
Also has anyone tried the lap counter thing that I believe is also made by finis? It suction cups to the wall of the pool, and supposedly you hit the center of it with your hand at the end/beginning of every lap and it records splits and laps? I'm also looking into purchasing that. Sorry no link for that at the momentwww.finisinc.com/pr-laptrack.shtml just kidding there it is...found it just in time.
Okay, now I have to turn around and pay attention to class. But just thought I'd ask.
My birthday is on Sunday so I am in the mood to buy myself a present:laugh2: especially since it is a big one (21) and I don't drink so....it won't be as memorable as it is for most.

I use the swimp3 and it is great underwater and is probably the best out there for in the water. You definitely cant use it on land though because it is bulky and the speakers are meant for in the water. It is a drawback, but then i just use my Rio for dryland training.
My advice would be to try out the swimp3 in the water if you can. It is a little weird because you are listening to music through your cheek rather than your ear, so it feels like the sound is coming from inside your head. But it sounds so much better than earphones...anyone comparing them will know that!
Just given my two cents...happy birthday by the way!!
