The Aubrey/Maturin books are perfect for swimming, especially if the goal is to get you to swim more.
As for conversion - it took me a bit to get it all working, but I now routinely do to my Audible books what I have always done to my eBooks - strip and convert on purchase. That allows me to have a DRM-Free backup that will always work, regardless of my relationship with Audible. I usually convert to M4b, but converting from that to MP3 or WMA is trivial. If
you ever decide you need to do this, PM me. You've done more than enough to help me out over the years, I'll be happy to reciprocate.

That was what I was afraid of. Given the quality of available corded, waterproof, headsets now, I assumed there had to be a good reason that no one was doing Bluetooth. And given the nature of water and electronic signals in general, along with the low power output of Bluetooth, I am not surprised. Thanks for confirming.
