I need a waterproof mp3 player

As you may know, I am an on-again, off-again swimmer, and the main reason for the off-again bit is the fact that, frankly, swimming back and forth in a blue rectangle isn't exactly stimulating.

As you may also know, I can't go more than half an hour without getting antsy due to lack of music.

The natural progression of thought leads me to think I need to spend $100 on an mp3 player that works underwater. This seems brilliant in theory, but there are a couple minor details that cause mild apprehension.

First of all, even with the included waterproof armband, I can really see the wire from player to earbuds being a nuisance. All it takes is a bungled kickturn and suddenly I am choking myself underwater, like an infant with a piece of string.

Secondably (a thousand points to you if you get the reference), I am concerned about sharks in the pool. If a lifeguard spots a dorsal fin careening through the lanes, attached to a shark with murder in his eye, coming right at me, I will be unable to hear his cries of warning over the soothing sounds of Boney M's "Rasputin."

So, you can see my dilemma.
