Anybody tried a waterproof mp3 player?

[skifreak]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't usually humming a little tune as I approach the course. Music is frequently a "tool" of exercise and with the advent of waterproof mp3 players i'm wondering if anybody has tried one. While I desperately want to hear that there's a good one for skiing, I also don't see how it could be anything other than a PITA. Still... I desperately long to hear some "eye of the tiger" as I'm rounding six...

huh, I'd love it if I could find an anti-mp3 player that could cancel the annoying and distracting songs that seems to come into my head just as I'm about to turn into the course!!

I would think the beat of the music would interface horribly with timing in the course??

I was wondering about that. I also have a hard time getting earphones to stay in my ears when i'm doing anything that's not simple walking so I can only imagine they'd get ripped out before I began. Still, I hope.

I know there are wakeboard vests with pockets built in for MP3 players so something must exist. I would look for a wakeboard forum and see what they have to say there.

My wife has a wake vest with the built in pocket.  I think it's a liquid force.  I think it's a great idea.  When learnig to really rip moguls in the winter nothing was better at relaxing and clearing your mind than an old walkman with the tunes cranked.

For swimmers, but should work for water skiing.

Thanks! I had seen that website. The one's for goggles obviously aren't going to work and I doubt the ones that clip onto your ears will stay put. I was looking for one with an arm band but thought the earphone wire would get in the way. I had no idea about the vests with pockets!! I'll have to look into that!
