Bluetooth doesn't work underwater — but the Shokz OpenSwim and similar MP3 headsets do. The catch: getting podcasts onto them is a manual mess. Pod2Swim fixes that. Subscribe to any podcast, queue episodes, plug in your headset, tap Export. Everything lands in order. No phone needed at the pool. Built by a swimmer who got tired of the workaround.
I built Pod2Swim because I couldn't find a good solution for myself.
I swim regularly and listen to podcasts — but Bluetooth doesn't work underwater. I got a Shokz OpenSwim, which was great, but getting podcasts onto it was a nightmare: hunting for MP3 files, dragging them manually on a computer, losing track of the order.
So I built the app I wanted to exist. Subscribe to any podcast, queue what you want for your next swim, plug in the headset, tap Export. Everything lands in order. Leave the phone in the locker.
It works with the Shokz OpenSwim, OpenSwim Pro, and any other headset that shows up as a USB drive in the Files app.
If you're a swimmer and you've been dealing with the same friction — or if something doesn't work the way you'd expect — I'd love to hear from you.
