Water Walkmans/Radios?

   This maybe somewhat of a dumb question but, is there such
a thing as a Walkman or radio that you can listen to when
you are swimming?

Ooh, how creepy. I just had that thought myself this morning. But more along
the lines of what sort of invention will they come up with next!

Hey, you could always put them on your toes, for those of us who are
flip-turners (or flipped?).

Hey, have you been reading the thread about a Speedo radio?

Along these lines, who do you think the market for such a radio would be?  
Someone seriously training shouldn't be swimming with a radio, as there are
enough things to think about like intervals, stroke mechanics, etc.  It
kind of reminds me of the old adage, "Make a workout that even a fool can
use, and only a fool will use it." Please, competitive swimmers out there
(or formerly competitive, or non-competitive who are placed in a
competitive setting) or anyone hoping to get faster, don't tell me you
actually space off enough to need a radio during workouts.
