tankisbyon Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Did my first Ironman this year, and want to do more, but the prospect of the swim training does not exactly have me jumping up and down with excitement. I find training in the pool, especially for the very long sets and over-distance sessions absolutely soul-destroying. I have been thinking about getting an underwater MP3 player to make these sessions a little less miserable, thinking I could listen to audio books or music etc while training. Does anyone have any experience with using them? Have looked online, they have mixed reviews and they are f&*! - ing expensive, so I want to know I am not wasting my money on one.. Any advice?

Red Zone Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 My advise, join a swim squad, makes the sessions much more bearable, never fun, but more bearable
sluiper Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Would also recommend joining a squad. I find the squad sessions are much more useful than swimming by yourself as you're always pushing yourself a bit harder.
