To be honest, I’m not much a swimmer. And since I’m in a state of near-panic whenever I find myself flopping around in the water, I probably need some soothing music to help keep me relaxed. Ocean sounds, maybe. Well, maybe not ocean sounds.
Whatever soundtrack you choose, you can listen to it while you swim with the Finis SwiMP3. Here’s what the press release tells us:
The unique and patented bone conduction technology utilized in the FINIS SwiMP3 takes enjoying music to another level by transmitting high-fidelity sound underneath the water. As FINIS holds the international patent on bone conduction technology, standard players rely on the transmission of sound through air or water which causes the swimmer to hear only muffled noise. Because the SwiMP3 uses bone conduction, the sound vibrations are able to be directly transferred from the cheek bone to the inner ear, giving the swimmer the ultimate sensory experience whether engaged in training workouts or recreational activities. The sleek design attaches to any swim goggle or snorkeling mask and features a 10-hour rechargeable lithium-ion battery that charges directly from a USB port. The SwiMP3 is compatible with MP3 or WMA files, and is available for $149.99.
Actually, I just thought of a really great swimming soundtrack…something to get me super-motivated for swimming. Ah, here it is…

I’m surprised at you Tim. On one hand you criticise underwater laser light shows but here you are subjecting all those poor little underwater critters to goodness knows what kind of subversive influences by playing them loud music.
Get the wrong tune and the next thing you know there will be a big grey ship dropping depth charges on you
