subject: Five Clever Tips You Can Do To Listen To Music While Swimming [print this page] When you are relaxing and having fun, music and water can be part of it at the same time. To let you enjoy music while swimming and without breaking your music player, consider the following tips:
Get your music player a waterproof case
You don't have to get yourself a new music player if you want to listen to it while in an aquatic environment. A waterproof case is all you need to still make use of your current media player. The market today offers a variety of waterproof cases, including waterproof ipod cases and cases for Zune and other MP3 players; waterproof earphones are available as well.
Purchase an underwater music player
If you don't want to use a waterproof case, buy a player that is designed for use in the water. Buying one of these players will keep you from worrying about leaks or accidents that could happen to the waterproof case.
Buy bone conduction sound equipment
Waterproof earphones can be uncomfortable and are not always the best equipment for producing good quality music underwater. Sound waves are disrupted underwater, which makes using standard earphones underwater unadvisable. Headphones that operate through bone conduction will give you better sound when you are swimming. You will need goggles though in order for this type of headphones to function. With the use of the goggles, these equipments are attached to your facial bone and not to your ears. Instead of conducting sound vibrations through the wearer's ear canal, sound vibrations are transmitted via the bone in the inner ear. You can either buy bone conduction headphones with a waterproof casing that you can use on your MP3 player, or you can buy a waterproof music player which has this type of headphones included.
Consider buying wireless waterproof speakers
This works particularly well for people who can't stand having something covering their ears, head or face while swimming. This is also a great idea for group swimming activities because all the swimmers can enjoy the music. Vast models of music players like the iPod or Zune are compatible with these wireless and waterproof speakers. Wireless speakers broadcast music from your MP3 player to the speakers by using a transmitter. Your MP3 player will remain safe and dry while everyone enjoys the music while swimming.
Install in your swimming pool a sound system that plays underwater
If you are really fond of listening to music while relaxing in and around your own pool, you may install a sound system with a centralized music system underwater and out of the pool. Waterproof speakers are installed at the bottom of the pool, as well as in your pool area. You can enjoy the music while in the pool or when you get out.
Using these great ideas, swimming can become a more relaxing and fun activity. With music that goes wherever you are, even if you are underwater, your pool time will always be fun and satisfying.
