Music can make a long workout feel shorter and help you find your rhythm, especially if you’re running or cycling, but taking your playlist into the pool has traditionally been tricky. Now, waterproof headphones are making it easier to listen while you swim, with models designed to stay put and keep working underwater.
I swim a couple of times a week, both indoors and outdoors, so I know how much of a difference having something to listen to can make. Music or a good podcast helps me find my rhythm on longer swims and gives me something to focus on when motivation starts to dip.
