Lap Swimmin

I've swum laps for most of my adult life. About 20 years. I started with a first generation Speedo Aqua Beats MP3 player that worked until June 2019. In fact, it worked so well and lasted so long I had no idea Speedo had stopped making them! I was shocked! This MP3 player can be submerged up to 10 feet, but I don't even get close to it, even when exercising at the pool's edge. The overall depth of the pool is less than 5 feet. So I'm NOT worried about it flooding etc. The headphones were good, the audio could potentially be VERY high. much louder than I think it is necessary to listen to music. However, silicone covers are not really designed to penetrate deep enough into the ear canals to prevent water from flowing into the ear. I just took the headphone cases off my speedo and put them on top of these. I also have pretty cool Eustachian canals. Strange things about the anatomy of my skull that make this more of a PERSONAL issue and not a product issue. I would recommend this to anyone doing laps as a form of progressive exercise. I'm still going back to daily rounds after transitioning from the usual gym junk that actually led to injuries on a regular basis. I can fit MORE than enough music files in here to last my entire sailing lesson. One anomaly I'm not alone with is that I can't figure out how to disable shuffling. It doesn't matter because you can just press the button and skip to the next song. I would definitely buy it again but it seems to be durable so I doubt I'll need it. The pessimist in me ONLY wants to buy a SECOND one in case they stop making them! There have been some REAL fails out there, but this player is GOLD!
