Pod2Swim turns your swim into podcast time. Bluetooth doesn't work underwater, so Pod2Swim loads your favourite podcasts straight onto a Shokz OpenSwim — or any headset that mounts as USB storage — ready to play, lap after lap. No phone at the poolside, no streaming, no signal required. HOW IT WORKS • Subscribe to any podcast with the built-in search. • Browse the newest episodes from all your shows in one chronological feed. • Queue what you want for your next swim — Pod2Swim downloads it in the background. • Plug in your headset and export the whole queue in a single tap, in playback order. • Scan the headset any time to see exactly what's loaded. BUILT FOR SWIMMERS • Your audio lives on the headset, so you can leave the phone in the locker. • Adjustable playback speed from 0.75× to 2.5× per podcast, with the pitch preserved — fit more in before the pool closes. • Choose Replace All or Add to End on transfer, so you stay in control of what's on the device. • Episodes land in playback order, so your queue plays exactly as you arranged it. SIMPLE STORAGE • The queue is the single source of truth — add to download, remove to free space. • See total downloaded storage and clear it in one tap. • Optional auto-delete after export keeps things tidy. FREE TRIAL, ONE-TIME PURCHASE • Download free and try everything for 7 days. • One single purchase unlocks Pod2Swim forever — no subscription. • Bought Pod2Swim when it was a paid download? You're unlocked automatically, at no extra cost. Pod2Swim works with the OpenSwim, OpenSwim Pro, and other MP3-player headsets that appear as a USB drive in the Files app. You'll need a USB-C or Lightning adapter to connect the headset to your iPhone.
