Yes, Erica and gonnagetwell Lisa! yes

I love it! I use an older iPod classic, with an H20 audio waterproof case. And a waist strap that keeps it out of the way, I tried one of those arm bands first, but it just kept getting all tangled up.

H20 audio

The headphones are the trickiest part. Most of them don't play quite loud enough, and they do tend to stop working after a while. I've had to deal with returning a couple of pairs and getting them replaced.


I expect H20 will probably stop making the iPod classic cases soon, if they haven't already, as the recent iPods are smaller and have touchscreens. But the good news is that they even seem to have them for iPhones and other brands too now...let's all HOPE I don't get one, if I start posting here while I'm swimming underwater...that could seriously affect my lap times! tongue2

I make a separate playlist of high-energy songs that are good for swimming, and whenever I find a new one, I just type into the description of the song a keyword, and then they get added automatically to a "Smart" playlist. With the iPod in shuffle mode, I never know which of one those songs will come up next!
