I want to be able to swim while listening to music. What do you use please ? I have googled it but would like real recommendations

I'd look into bone conduction headphones. No need to risk water trapping in your ear with earbuds, and the sound carries well underwater. When I was still swimming and looking to buy headphones, the ones I had narrowed it down to were the AfterShokz Xtrainerz (stupid name, but apparently great product). You need to load songs as you would an old school MP3 player, and the storage is in the headphone itself, so no need for an additional device. Bluetooth doesn't carry well though water, so I wouldn't look there, as music cutting in and out would just frustrating to me.

Another one for after shokz make sure u get to waterproof rather than water resistant

plan b very cheap rough option.
waterproof headphones not expensive under £10
old MP3 player put it in a condom knot it tight as possible round headphone wire and put it under swimming hat
swim hat also helps keep earphones in place

I have these and they do they job just fine, takes a couple of swims to get used to the position on your ears and to get the straps the right size.

I actually prefer the little box like ones with the headphones that fit tightly into your ear but the ones I like aren't sold anymore the Speedo Aquabeat.

Decathlon do a similar one but i didn't see it till after I bought the bone conduction ones
