Sony has launched a new waterproof MP3 player made just for swimmers. The device is built to work underwater and gives music lovers a way to listen while they swim. It meets the IP68 standard, which means it can handle being fully submerged in water up to two meters deep for 30 minutes.

The player holds up to 16 gigabytes of music. That is enough space for about 4,000 songs. Users can load their favorite tracks through a simple USB connection. The interface is easy to use even with wet hands. Large buttons let swimmers control playback without looking at the screen.
Battery life lasts up to 12 hours on a single charge. This makes it suitable for long training sessions or daily laps. The earphones are designed to stay in place during fast strokes and turns. They also block out pool noise so the music stays clear.
Sony says this product fills a gap for serious swimmers who want to keep rhythm or stay motivated with music. Many athletes use beats per minute to pace their strokes, and this player supports that need. It works without needing a phone or extra gear.
The device comes in three colors: black, blue, and red. It will be available next month in stores and online. The price is set at $129. Sony expects strong interest from fitness centers, swim teams, and everyday users who enjoy music in the water.

This new MP3 player builds on Sony’s history of making durable audio gear. It uses materials that resist chlorine and saltwater damage. The company tested it in real pools and open water to make sure it performs well under tough conditions.
