I’m not sure that this is the right time of year to be selling a waterproof MP3 player but alas Hammacher Schlemmer doesn’t seem to have an issue with it – so why should we.

The Swimmer’s Waterproof MP3 player attaches to a pair of swimming goggles, allowing you to listen to music while you swim. The player supports Mp3 and WMV audio files and comes with 1GB of built-in memory. 

The player consists of your basic controls for volume, track forward/backward, and play/pause and includes an armband and earbud extension cable. The battery supposedly is intended to last about 6 hours – just enough for Michael Phlelps to get in a good training session. The Swimmer’s Waterproof MP3 Player retails for $79.95.
