Adding Music to the Water
MP3 players have become extremely popular in the last decade. Determined to provide workout music for swimmers to enjoy as well, The FINIS Development Team set out to create a personal waterproof mp3 player that transmitted the best sounding music.
SwiMP3.1G
In the Fall of 2009, FINIS revamped their original SwiMP3 design and released the SwiMP3.1G The new player has a sleek finish, with all the controls built directly into the side panels. The memory capacity was increased to 1GB and the new player was adapted to play both MP3 and WMA playlists.
The SwiMP3 underwater MP3 player provides an incredible audio experience through its innovative sound transfer technology. The SwiMP3 uses bone conduction - the direct transfer of sound vibrations from the cheek bone to the inner ear - to provide the swimmer with exceptional sound clarity.
The SwiMP3 is revolutionary in that it relies on bone conduction of sound. When the device is placed on any bones of the skull (i.e. the cheek bones or the mastoid tip) it leads to vibration of the fluid in the inner ear. Bone conduction is a safe, well-established hearing mechanism in humans that the SwiMP3 player leverages to enhance aquatic activity.
