Christmas gifts don’t have to be unimaginative books, CDs or socks.

Everyday we’ll suggest original stocking fillers for the active person in your life.

Today how about an underwater MP3 player?

As a swimming teacher I can admit that swimming lengths is not the most exciting exercise. However, most active people end up turning to swimming as a recovery session after competition or training, and also it’s great as a rehabilitation exercise when you are injured. But after a while the boredom sets in. If only you could pass the time listening to some music or catching up on a podcast….

But you could if you had a Speedo Aquabeat Underwater MP3 Player.

This MP3 player is specially designed for aquatic athletes and active people, its submersible, waterproof and weatherproof with waterproof earphones. Even as a runner my regular MP3 is a bit temperamental when in the rain and the buttons can be a bit fiddly but this player has large ergonomic buttons which makes it easy to use even whilst swimming.

Speedo International Limited

It can be safely used at a depth of up to 3 meters in the water and can float enabling quick and easy recovery in the pool, so whether you are looking for a gift for a sailor, kayaker, snorkeler or triathlete this is the perfect gift. Even if they are just a sun worshiper it’s great for holidays, lying on beach or by the pool.
