I’m thinking of purchasing some and I tried some this morning which belonged to one of the men who goes swimming at the same time as me. They seemed good. Does anyone else have them and find them good? What make if so, please.

I thought this must be a joke!!!!! I still can’t believe someone can’t have a swim without having to play music. It’s bad enough having to repeat a simple sentence to the zombies in the street!!!!!!!!!

I can understand it during a boring gym session or swimming 30 lengths, but out walking or running just seems really silly and dangerous to me. You need your wits about you whilst out and about especially with crazy kids on bikes and electric scooters running people over.

Maybe you aren’t swimming as many lengths as the OP or those of us that are interested in this? I think we can all swim without having to play music, but if there’s something that makes doing exercise more enjoyable, then why ever not? Swimmers don’t tend to generally have to listen out for anything or chat to each other, so having some gentle music to swim along to whilst you are exercising seems a great idea to me. My daughter has the ones that sir behind your ear, so you can still hear whistles etc if needed.
