an otterbox, thats a really good idea! never thought of anything like that before. Had a look on their site and they dont do one for my creative zen vision M mp3 player :(

is the otter box pretty good?

ps. where do you stick the box while your swimming? has it got a belt of something?

Wildswimmer Pete - tell us more about this "otterbox" - I've had a look on the website but nothing much in terms of reviews - your opinion on it would be intersting!

I usually swim in board shorts so I take them, I take my fave towel which has a huge map of Iraq on it and I bought it while I was there in 2003, my zoggs goggles which I have had for so long the reflective coating on them is wearing away, my green and blue pull float which I use between my legs and in my hands as a kick board which my son likes to chew on when he gets hold of it, I also take a load of change for lockers and vending machines.
