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).

Actually, H2O Audio makes cases for the iPhone, so you wouldn't have to buy an iPod if you went that way. I know a few people with the H2O audio cases, and none of them have complained about it. I should be getting mine soon, so I'll let you know what my experience is; however, I don't think they would sell that well if they sucked.
