Best investment for swimming laps ever!

I've been using the iPod and ear buds while swimming laps for a few years now. Best addition to my workout routine.

I can see while I swim.  These were the best investment ever.  Well, at least the best investment for my gym bag.

I love lap swimming but have had so much trouble with water in my ears that I had almost given it up.  I tried this out of desperation (together with the Macks soft ear plugs) and I am just amazed-- it really does work!  I have used the band and the plugs four times so far this June and have not gotten any water in my ears.  I almost cannot believe such an inexpensive and simple solution has virtually changed my life.  I have been wearing the band underneath a silicone swim cap.  Before having this, the swim cap would always lift up and away from my ears.  Now, the band stays where it is supposed to be, snug over the ears, and the cap provides an extra level of protection.  I am so happy I got this band and the plugs.  Now if I could just get my goggles to stay consistently sealed and dry!

I absolutely love these goggles! I have always loved swimming, whether it be for fun or it be for sport, so I have gone through quite a few pairs of swim goggles but I must say that these goggles supersede my prior pairs. Upon receiving these, you will get a hard plastic case that you use to store your goggles when you are not using them. The next thing is they also have an anti-fog coat to them and allow for clear and crisp vision underwater. Adjusting the headband was easy and did not need more than one hand to do so like other goggles I have had. While I was testing this out underwater, I was ecstatic to find no leaks since some goggles would let the water leak in and burn my eyes with the chlorine in the pool water. Also included are nose and ear plugs which I found quite nice since I lost my old pairs. Overall, these goggles are great and I will continue to use them for as long as they last.
I was able to receive this product at a reduced price in exchange for my honest, unbiased review and I hope that you will consider purchasing one after reading my review.

Fit is perfect, and the mouth piece is comfortable and seals well. Better than a side mount snorkel for lap swimming for sure! Finis swimming products are simply the best!

Wow!  I must admit I bought this as an impulse buy because I was looking for something to listen to while lap swimming and this looked like it would be great.  Then I started to read the reviews and got a little concerned...would it work the way it was meant to?  Would I ruin my daily workouts with constant adjusting of headphones/volume/headgear or would I have to "hold back" in my swimming to avoid headphones popping out, etc?  I've been lap swimming 5 days a week for 30 minutes for just over a year now as part of my new workout routine and I've missed the tunes while I'm working out.

Well so far I've been swimming with this thing daily for the last 7-10 days and it's been fantastic.  I took the time when I received it in the mail to attach it to my goggles, try headphone sizes, etc.  The next day it worked on my very first swim.  I switched to the smaller headphone sizes to get a sligtly more snug fit, and have not had to mess with it since.  I get a nice seal (better than my pillowsoft earplugs) and the sound quality and volume is awesome no matter the music type.

Anyway I must admit I was a skeptic but have been quite pleased, and the price is right, too.  This really helps the laps go quickly, I just used ITunes smart playlists set to 33 minutes and I don't even have to keep track of the time...when the music stops, I'm done (=

Have a blessed day!

This is the best swimming device I have ever had. It did come in big and worked for my son who was a year older at the time. It kept his head above water the whole time didn't have to worry about it unlike others I had gotten before. This is worth every penny. Every time she wears it i get so many complements and asked where they can get one. It is seriously amazing. It dose have a string on both sides to help tighten it.

This works so well.  I have been swimming regularly with mine for several months.  I have tried other solutions in the past but too many issues and poor sound quality.  This is fantastic sound quality.  I use mine with the Swimbuds Sports Waterproof Headphones and highly recommend those for deeper base and more even sound.  Mine was shipped promptly and safely.  I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product to anybody who swims regularly for exercise.  I have used mine with music and books on tape.  Best improvement to swimming since the invention of goggles.

So amazing!! I used this for my Tri, great arm freedom and best of if all, easy to put on (Not even "for a wet suit"!).
I was the envy of ppl at the race, slid it on, zipped it up and immediately was comfortable. No issues, including the neck section. No rubbing or chaffing. Even after the swim portion. Pretty easy to get off. No complaints at all!

So glad I bought this, actually, I'm glad that I even found it as I wasn't even sure they made anything like this.  I find swimming extremely boring, especially since the most I can do at this point with a bad back is aqua jog exercises.  My local Y has no music in the pool area so it gets boring after awhile.  Enter the Underwater Audio Swimbuds and my problem is solved!  I absolutely love it!!!  The first day I had it in the pool, I had three people stop me and ask where I got it as they too are bored while doing laps.  What a brilliant idea!  Thank you Underwater Audio for coming up with this.  Now I can listen to music and podcasts and never be bored.  I even loved the fact that I could sit in the hot tub and listen to relaxing music and shower with this thing on!  Love the shorter cord too, it never gets in the way.  Worth every penny!

It was getting very tedious to remember each lap count but now it is a no brainer.  The vibrate function makes this Swim Watch unique.  I set it for each 10 Laps to give me a reminder without having to look.

I swim 25m sprints - first leg, free style on a single breath then backstroke on the way back.  This requires some rest period in-between so the timer allows me to push myself to achieve more laps per every 60 minutes.  Best count so far is 76 laps.  I am 284lbs. and 6'1" so this is not casual swimming but great cardio workout.

I have the Live Download Clip but will review it separately.  It is a great accessory to have to keep track of progress on my computer.

Music is a vital part of every other piece of my workout regimen. Swimming always had my mind going through everything I had to do or hadn't done at work, family matters - and a ton of other things that just weren't supporting the mood I needed for an effective swim workout.
This waterproof iPod Shuffle changed all that and took my mile-time down about five minutes!
Absolutely perfect sound - precisely the same as listening to music on the machines, running or cycling - with the same effect/impact on my workout and focus. I tried the blue-tooth (cheaper) systems - and that technology does NOT work underwater. This system is worth every penny.
The short cord set-up enables me to just clip it to my goggle strap, and very easy to reach and adjust volume or skip a song. The memory on this things holds more tunes than you'd listen to in an entire IronMan! - and easily syncs to your iTunes or iMusic account. Get the "kit" with the upgraded earbuds (again -worth every cent).
If you are a swimmer - this is one piece of equipment you need to have that will benefit every mile you swim...in your time and your focus.

I am swimming 10,000-14,000 yards 4 days per week and was very tired of counting laps.  I got this watch at the end of October and was a little skeptical but I can tell you it does EXACTLY what it says it will do.

I don't have to count laps anymore, the only button pushing is at the start and end of sets, not laps, it keeps track of total laps, calories, speed, stroke efficiency, total yards, yards per set, strokes per lap, it truly is amazing what the watch does.

There are a couple of little things I wish it did differently which is why I gave it 4 stars rather than 5.  I wish it flipped through the data sets differently, I wish there was a light (not for use in the pool), The start stop button could be bigger/centered on the face of the watch, etc... but this is a pretty new product that will improve as the years go by.

If you are a serious swimming pool lap swimmer, In my opinion you shouldn't be swimming without this watch!!!

My family went to the Virgin Islands a few months ago and my brother kept telling me I should buy one of these. I almost didn't do it and that would have been a big mistake. We spent probably 80% of our time in the water snorkeling, sometimes in pretty deep water. This thing was a lifesaver, literally. Our first day out, we went a little aggressive and kayaked out to a point off the cove we were staying in. That was more workout than I have had in years and I'm in my mid 40's now. Then we put on our gear and swim a pretty far distance out to a ledge that we wanted to dive down to. We were in about 25 feet of water there and exhausted at this point. Even with fins, a snorkel and mask on, I was fighting to stay afloat and the water was getting rough. I quickly inflated this vest and it easily kept me floating there. I was able to catch my breath and things got much more enjoyable from that point on. Each day got a little easier but I was so glad to have this vest and the assurance that if I got winded and needed a break I could just inflate and bob like a cork for a few minutes.

No longer do I lose track of my laps and am free to spend time in reflective thought mode solving world peace while swimming instead of adding/subtracting/adding again/rethinking, etc., about how many laps have I really swam. Hope you get the picture!

I am getting ready to improve my swimming and work up to longer distances. I'm very nearsighted and have always gone swimming "blind." I had no idea that such excellent correction was available at such a low price. Fabulous! These also give me an airtight seal. My eyes are different in their correction, but I ordered a number between the two and was very happy with my result.

I do not review products at all but this is too good to be left out. I just used FINIS Swimmer Snorkel for the first time (2 hours ago) and it is freaking awesome! Initially I thought that the snorkel will obstruct my view since it goes over the head but it does NOT at all. It fits perfectly and it is awesome.

I could not stop swimming with this, the GYM had to call the cops to stop me (just kidding). This is the best swimming device I have ever purchased. I swim more laps and burn more calories.

THANK YOU FINIS!!
