subject: 5 Smart Ways To Enjoy Music While Swimming [print this page] To enjoy music while swimming, get your music player a waterproof case, purchase an underwater MP3 player, use bone conduction earphones or music players, use waterproof speakers in your pool, and install an underwater sound system for your swimming pool.
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:
Purchase a waterproof case for your music player
You need not get yourself a new gadget if you want to listen to music while swimming. All you will need is a waterproof case so you can use your existing music player. You will find many waterproof ipod cases, Zune cases, and other waterproof MP3 cases on the market today, and you can pair one with waterproof earphones to complete your gear.
Buy an MP3 player that works underwater
You may buy an MP3 designed for underwater use if you are not comfortable using a waterproof case. Buying one of these players will keep you from worrying about leaks or accidents that could happen to the waterproof case.
Buy a bone conduction player or earphones
Earphones, which are waterproof, don't necessarily give the best sound quality or comfort while in the water. Sound waves are disrupted underwater, which makes using standard earphones underwater unadvisable. Get bone conduction headphones or music players to get better audio quality while swimming. You need goggles for these headphones to work, though. By clipping on to both sides of your goggles, they are attached to your facial bone and not on the ears. These earphones do not conduct vibrations through your ear canal, but through the bone to your inner ear. Bone conduction headphones can often be bought with a waterproof music player, or they can be purchased separately with a waterproof casing that you can attach to your music player.
Use waterproof wireless speakers in your pool
This is a great option if you prefer not to wear anything on your face or ears while swimming. Additionally, this is a good option for group swimming because everyone can listen to the music. There are waterproof wireless speakers for most mp3 players, including iPods and the popular Zune players. Wireless speakers broadcast music from your MP3 player to the speakers by using a transmitter. Everyone can now enjoy swimming and listening to music while your music player remains safe and dry.
Install an underwater sound system for your swimming pool
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. This setup includes waterproof speakers placed at the pool's bottom and around the pool area. You can enjoy the music while in the pool or when you get out.
Using these tips, swimming can be more relaxing and fun-filled. You can now fully enjoy your pool time if you have music with you even when you are in the water.
