I do NOT know how to SWIM gang!!..yes a 57yo has never been taught...but there are MANY reasons I do not do it now..but I love the pool/water and being in it..I do a Brazilian water exercise class on Mondays but he isn't always available..so for the past 5 years ,I've been running a mile in the pool /add to that half hour of rubber band workout outside of the pool and when I go upstairs I do dance..the first lane is reserved for people like TONY, that want to exercise & not swim..we had to fight 2 years to get that rule past at my gym..anyway, I so enjoy running with music I want! It's NOT quality sound and I am not looking for quality when it comes to my workout music..I pick the playlists I want and just drag & drop it into the file that shows up when you connect it VERY easy to use..no way I will have 1,000 songs on here..the ONLY way to recharge this is connecting to the computer..HINT:I check out prices when I shop and Swimoutlet will match any lower price that you find on this item,like I did on Amazon..they gave me $10 credit.Cheers...TONY(NYC) BTW: I wear one of these body suits..like NIKE or Speedo has(have a couple of each)..NIKE is the BEST for the money, if you're going for warmth and comfort and I stick the iPod into the top of the body suit...no extension cord needed

While I have only used my Speedo twice, I already feel as if I have a superior product. I was able to download my music with ease and the device charges rapidly. The directions for using the device are simplistic. The headphones are somewhat of a drawback. The device comes with different styles of ear pieces so be sure to chose the one that gives the best water tight fit. If you don't have a good seal, then you will not get very good sound. If the phones are tight, you get good sound. Having this mp3 player is a terrific distraction from counting how many laps I have done. Yesterday and today, I just swam. 45 minutes yesterday and an hour today.

Product decent ear plugs take some getting use to.Music fairly clear when  wearing bathing cap.

I really like this mp3 player, I do laps and find it east to use and comfortable. It make it more fun to swim and the music helps with the motivation. The ear phones do the job. I can hear the music just fine and it blocks out the swimmming noises. I will never swim with out it.I don't know how I did it before this.

I ordered the newer version of  this product because of it's compatibility with itunes.  However, you can't just transfer the music in the usual manner.  It took 2 very tech savvy people several hours to figure out the process and then it still didn't work.  I returned this product for a refund last week.   I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone for any purpose.

I like the player, it's simple and intuitive.  Not a lot of clutter with the buttons.  But the headphones are average at best.  They are hard to keep in my ears.  They should possibly go with just ear buds that fit into the ear and not the wrap around type.  I will have to eventually buy new headphones that work better.
