Keen swimmer and have great deal with local pool in Brizzle to swim as much as you like for £23 a month (and my employer pays me £20 of this for being 'healthy') and have been really getting into it.

Now, I know I am never to going to threaten the GB squad but its improving my all round fitness. I have been looking on Amazon etc for a waterproof MP3 player after having a chat to a guy who was using one in the pool - I never knew such a thing existed!

Does anyone on here have one? Thoughts?

I have been thinking either: [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FKYW7PC?psc=1 ]£££ posh[/url]

or [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CMJOZNU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=37YRBVCF6RV51&coliid=I3DVJ952D9FVFJ ]£ less posh[/url]

Either way, advice would be appreciated.

Nothing new, my 27-year-old sports walkman radio still works after much wind surfing. Swimming though (two swimming threads in a day)j I can't concentrate on anything else. I lose count if I try to count lengths, fail to make a mental shopping list and just concentrate on remembering to turn when the black line ends so I don't bang my hands at the end of the pool.

My local pool, I can hear people diving in from my garden:

Dunno what make it is, but a bloke I know has got a waterproof mp3 player for swimming. It's all built into the earphone band. He uses it all the time.

Pau, it's heated 🙂 with gas 🙁 Geothermal heating would have cost too much apparently.
