Swimmers! Anyone got a waterproof MP3 player?

I have seen cases for iPods (sounds risky) and the MP3s that transmit sound through the cheek bone; has anyone got one of these, and does it work well? I love swimming and it is great exercise etc. but SO boring...music would really help me stick at it...anyone?

No, sorry but I'm very excited at having discovered hi strength prescription swim goggles. I can see underwater for the first time since I was about 10!

No, I haven't seen one in use, but I know dd would lurve one, so I don't think I'll be telling her just yet. Maybe nearer to xmas

In my local pool, I think NOT being able to see all the verruca plasters and worse floating by would actually be quite an advantage! Not to mention all the horrid hairy men in tight trunks...yeuch...

Yes I know someone who has one of these mp3 players and they work very well.

I love swimming, but I enjoy counting (!!) sounds mad, but I love to count the lengths = I find it really relaxing. However, I know two people who use MP3 players and have had no problems with them. They are not ipods though - they are proper waterproof mp3 players.
