"My husband gave me my "dream come true" for my birthday.
I am a 53 year old swimmer who has been dreaming about underwater music since my
competitive swimming days in the 60's. I used to sing "I Saw Linda Yesterday" in
my head in order to pace myself during 1500 meter/1650 yard freestyle events.
The 1970's in master swimming came and gone with no luck finding
underwater
music for swimmers. I went on to swim open water in the San Francisco Bay Area
in the 1980's, still wishing that someone would invent a mechanism that would
stir up the boredom of long swims. Every now and then I would luck out and
practice with a masters team who would share the pool with synchronized
swimmers. With underwater speakers, I could hear the music but it was usually
too far away to be able to make out the beat. I tried Speedo's radio which
didn't work. I tried an underwater pouch that you could shove a CD player in,
but the chlorine finally ate away at the plastic and it leaked into the pouch,
ruining the CD player. The Finis MP3 player is wonderful! Not only can I hear my
choice of music without having to change batteries every four hours, the sound
comes through loud and clear! "With the addition of the Finis
Swimp3 MP3 player in my
life, long, long, open water events are now a reality! Thanks to my techno savvy
husband and Finis, my dream contraption has come true!
Thank you for making this middle-aged swimmer a very happy one!
