Does anyone wear swimming headphones? I'm trying to get back into a hobby I used to enjoy and think this will help.

Is there not an issue with bluetooth connections being disrupted by water? I thought you needed to upload music onto the headphones because the connection between a device poolside and headphones going in and out of the water would constantly be disrupted? From what some posters have said I wonder if I am wrong about this.

Yes this is what I had thought, that Bluetooth wouldn’t work so I had to go through the faff of MP3

I have the FINIS Stream - it connects to your apple watch which you can clip on the back of your head which means you can do lane swimming. yes if you put your head under the water fully it drops out momentarily, so tumble turns not poss, but i use it in an endless pool mostly so turning is not a thing. You can stream from spotify, it's fab I'm taking it with me on a business trip next month so will see how it works in a lane pool.

Am I understanding that correctly, you have to attach your apple watch to it? Not just connect by bluetooth? That wouldn't work for me unfortunately, I use the watch to keep track of my lengths (I always lose count otherwise) and pace, heartrate etc.

I have Sony ones with a built in mp3 player. Few years ago but might still do them.

Connect via Bluetooth comes with a clip to attach to goggle strap

it might work on your wrist, not tried it.
