It's very straightforward and easy to use. It's tiny, not cumbersome at all and it works. The device is an iPod Shuffle that Waterfi has sealed with a waterproof coating. This is one of the coolest things I've come across in a long time. You just strap it on to your goggles with the included velcro strap, plug in the waterproof headphones and go. There's a 2G memory which holds about 500 songs and it lasts up to 15 hours before it needs a recharge. You just plug it into your computer for charging.
Swimming is a wonderful form of exercise, I find it to be as good for my mind as it is for my body. People who run get to enjoy music, and I think you really get a better quality workout when you have the benefit of songs you love. You go faster and push yourself harder. That swimmers now get this benefit is fantastic. Though it would be nice for people who run in the rain or live in rainy climate, I think it's even more appropriate for swimming because when you're outside running, it's a good idea to be able to hear your surroundings. But in the pool, you're in contained environment and you don't have to worry about cars and whatnot. It's a perfect match.
This would be great for Holiday gifts (and is available on Amazon with overnight shipping), it would be super cute in a stocking for anyone who does water sports, snow sports, or traveling. It comes in a gift worthy clear acrylic box and makes a fabulous presentation. Wouldn't this also be perfect for New Year's Resolutions? You can get it with or without headphones, but you will need waterproof headphones for the water. I would suggest the Swim System but you can check out all your options HERE on their website.
