    I have decent bone phones that are water resistant and I’m mostly keeping my head above water for now. I’m going to test the range on the Bluetooth for my phone soon, but if there’s something that can come in the water with me that’d be great

      Sorry friend but bluetooth doesn’t work a millimeter under water. The signal is too attenuated to be useful. Bluetooth itself has VERY little penetration power and water is VERY dense.

        Yeah so I won’t be underwater with the bones phones (they’re only resistant) I’m just using a kickboard for leg rehab - phone will be pool side and I’m hoping the 10m distance allows me to use them. If not, waterproof option for the emitting device is ideal
