Has anyone else used a GPS for Open Water swimming?
I got a ADEO audio GPS and was able to use this to get some good results on our practice swim in this past spring. Here is a link from our team's website www.cmym.us/.../index.cfm. This is a nice GPS for swimmers in that it is audio only and I was able to find a case that fit on my google straps. The real problem with the product is that most of the prompts are for runners so the pace is in miles/hour and not meters/sec or yard/sec. I used this GPS for more a post swim analysis of our swims, as we swim in a groups and wait for the slower members at some marked locations.
This GPS was also nice for skiing where I usually listen to my MP3 player I just routed the cord to the GPS and then my headphones and had a back seat driver all day.

Is the Garmin waterproof or do you "package" it?
I`d love to swim around that pier!! Here in San Diego I swim around the Oceanside Pier ( 1942 feet long ) and have had fishermen try to hit me with their casts. I stopped once after just about getting clobbered and looked up ( I stay about 40 yards from the pier) and yelled " Be nice and I`ll tell you where the fish are!" LOL!
