I looking to purchase an MP3 player to use while swimming and would appreciate product feedback from the group. I swim in a 25 yrd indoor pool and I am concerned that the earphones on the various styles will not stay in when I do flip turns. I also swim alot of IM and want to make sure I won't have problems with the earphones when I do fly, back, and ***. From a previous post alot of people like the swimman IPOD which sells for around $250. Also in the same thread some people like the Finis SwiMP3 ($140) but I am concerned the Finis unit won't work for me when I swim an IM set due to the bone conduction design of sound transmission. Any comments on this opionion ? And in particular does the swimman IPOD earphones work well when doing flip turns and swimming IM?
There are 3 other products that I have seen on the web that I think might work for me and would appreciate any experience any one has had with them. They are: 1. Freestyle Audio Soundwave 2 GB MP3 player ($90).
2. NU Technology 1 GB waterproof MP3 Player ($90) 3. Speedo Aquabeat MP3 1GB player ($140).

It's not on your list, but the H2O Audio sets are only around 80 bucks. I haven't gotten it yet, but once it arrives, I'll let you know how it works. Natalie Coughlin seems to like it, so it can't be that bad.
Oh, I just noticed you don't actually have an mp3 player. They sell a bundle with everything including the iPod Shuffle for 159.99. I could get you a 20% discount that would bring it down to 127.99 though if you wanted it. But, I'll let you know how it works when I get mine.
