Michael Phelps probably loves his Speedo Aquabeat. I'm assuming, of course, that he has one, of course. I can't think of any reason why he wouldn't have one--this thing rocks!
The Speedo Aquabeat is an MP3 player designed for people who spend some time underwater. It is completely waterproof, and can be submerged up to three meters. And it floats.
The two versions of the Speedo Aquabeat can hold 500 and 800 songs, respectively. The Aquabeat weighs in at 35g, so your lap time wont be affected by your music. If you're an aquatic athlete I'd highly suggest the Speedo Aquabeat. So would Michael Phelps.
