Introduction
It’s getting to that time when the good intentions of the new year resolutions are becoming more of a distant memory than a daily driver. Many people start the year with the resolve to get in shape, lose weight and exercise more, but by the time April rolls around 80% of those gym memberships will be unused. To try and help keep that motivation going, we’re starting a small series of reviews looking at fitness and health gadgets, diving in (*groan*) with the Finis SwiMP3 X18 2GB, an mp3 player which is waterproof and requires no earphones, allowing you to enjoy your podcasts, audiobooks or favourite tunes while at the pool.

Unpacking
The SwiMP3 comes in a pretty simple box, not too many bells or whistles or over-reaching design, just straight to the point and tells you what you need to know.
Once inside, the simplicity continues with a book-style opening to the interior box, and then just the player in foam recesses, with an instruction manual under the foam.
