Product Review - Finis SwiMP3

Written by Yvonne Bedell

I’ve been looking for an MP3 player to make my repetitive, monotonous laps in the pool more fun. After reading several reviews on different products, I decided on the Finis SwiMP3 player.

I admit, I was skeptical at first because it uses bone conduction, and I wasn’t sure how good the quality would be. I was pleasantly surprised at how clear it sounds - and it actually sounds better underwater! It’s very small compared to other waterproof players or the otterbox that attaches to your goggles. This fits nicely on each side of your goggle straps and snug against your head.

Loading songs is easy. The device has a single port on it with a sealed waterproof cap. Simply remove the cap, plug it into the USB port on your computer, and drag and drop songs. It holds about 60 songs, so I’ve never heard the same song during a workout. The battery will charge through the USB port and should last up to 8 hours of playback. There is also a free software program that you can download to rip songs from your CDs, create playlists, and download songs to the SwiMP3. I haven’t used the software (or downloaded it for that matter) because the drag and drop feature is just so easy. 

While you’re swimming, it’s easy to use. It has only 4 buttons on it to change tracks, shuffle songs, change volume, and power on/off. Songs will either play in alphabetical order or on shuffle. There is no display, but you don’t need one since you can’t see the side of your head anyway. :)  It has an LED that indicates whether it’s on/off or shuffling songs. 

I really can’t think of anything negative to say about this product, except that I can’t download my itunes protected files like I can on my ipod. Songs purchased off iTunes come as an .M4P file that is either protected or unprotected.  The SwiMP3 only supports MP3 and WMA files, not M4P files. So, before transferring itunes songs to the SwiMP3, you need to convert them to MP3 format (by a simple click of the mouse in itunes). Then you can drag and drop into the SwiMP3 folder. The itunes protected songs won’t let you convert to MP3 format. But if you’re getting songs off your CDs, you don’t have to worry about this issue. 

Overall, this product ROCKS! This device makes it so much easier to swim laps alone. I even caught myself swimming for 1.5 hours when I only intended on going for an hour…because I was rocking out to some great tunes. I definitely recommend this product to any lap swimmer. It’s worth every penny!
