About the BOOM Swimmer Duo

Waterproof is just the beginning

Pair two Swimmer Duos for big stereo sound anywhere. (Sold individually.)

Waterproof is just the beginning

Polk BOOM took one of their best-selling Bluetooth speakers, the Swimmer, and made it better. Like its predecessor, the Swimmer Duo can go just about anywhere, but now you can pair together two of these rugged portable speakers and enjoy wireless stereo sound. There's also a built-in mic for taking calls with your paired smartphone.

Rafting? The waterproof Swimmer Duo can be submerged down to 3 feet for up to 30 minutes. Rock climbing? The Duo's casing is shockproof. Surfing? This speaker's dirt- and sand-resistant. And it comes in a variety of color options so you can express yourself.

Flexible tail for flexible mounting options

The Swimmer Duo's flexible tail isn't just for decoration. You can use it to mount the speaker just about anywhere. Twist it around a paddle or loop it around a shower head. Hang it on a chain link fence, or secure it to your bike's handlebars. If you're using two Duos in stereo, you can even twist their tails together.

Lose the tail, add more bass

The tail is detachable, so you can just set the Swimmer Duo upright on a flat surface. Or screw in the included suction cup and mount it on the wall. And here's a bonus: the wall reinforces the low frequencies, so you'll notice stronger bass when the speaker is wall-mounted.

Convenient charging

The built-in battery lasts for up to eight hours of continuous use. Its USB charging cable can either be connected to the included AC power adapter or plugged directly into your computer for easy charging.

Features

Built-In Bluetooth: The Boom Swimmer Duo is a portable Bluetooth speaker which supports wireless music streaming and hands-free communication. It can wirelessly pair with your iPod touch/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Windows PC/phone, or Macintosh computer/laptop. The Bluetooth speaker pairs with your Bluetooth-enabled device with a single press of a button. Once paired, the Boom Swimmer Duo will automatically re-connect with your device when in wireless range (up to 33').

  • Wireless Music Streaming: The Boom Swimmer Duo supports Bluetooth A2DP and AVRCP for wireless audio streaming and control. The Bluetooth speaker lets you listen to stored music and music apps wirelessly streamed from your Bluetooth-enabled device.  Basic playback controls include Volume up/down, Play/Pause, and Track Forward/Reverse.
  • Hands-Free Speakerphone: If the Swimmer Duo is paired to your Bluetooth-enable smartphone and there's an incoming call, your music will pause and a ringer will sound through the Swimmer Duo. You can answer the call by pressing the "+" button on the speaker, and end a call by pressing  the "-" button. You can use the Swimmer Duo's built-in Mic to carry on your side of the conversation, while the other party is heard through the Bluetooth speaker.
Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Boom Swimmer Duo.

Water, Dust, & Shock Proof: The Boom Swimmer Duo is IPX7 rated, meaning it can be immersed in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes with its tail on. Feel free to take it with you in the pool, the ocean, or even the shower. It is also dust and shock proof for extra durability.

Note: Ensure that that the speaker's suction cup or tail is fully screwed into place until it's tight. If either attachment is not fully screwed into place, the Swimmer Duo will only be water-resistant; not waterproof.

Full-Range Speaker: The Boom Swimmer Duo waterproof Bluetooth speaker employs a single 1" full-range speaker powered by a built-in amplifier for surprisingly big sound from such a small speaker.

Stereo Pairing: You can link two Boom Swimmer Duo speaker together, and listen to each one as true left and right speakers.

Multiple Mounting Options: On the back of the Swimmer is a flexible tail, that can be looped, twisted or snaked for endless mounting possibilities. You can also unscrew the Swimmer's tail and screw in the included suction-cup, so you can attach the Bluetooth speaker to any flat surface.

Aux Input: The Boom Swimmer Duo is fitted with a 3.5mm auxiliary input for connecting almost any portable audio device with a headphone output. The speaker's flexible tail must be removed to access the aux input.

Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery: The Boom Swimmer Duo waterproof Bluetooth speaker is powered by a built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that gives you 6-8 hours of playback at maximum volume, or 16 hours at half volume. The Swimmer features a micro-USB (type-B) port and comes with a 36" microUSB-to-USB charging cable so you can charge the speaker's Lithium-ion battery via a free USB (type-A) port on your computer/laptop or a USB/AC power adapter (sold separately). Completely recharging the battery takes approximately 2 hours. The speaker's flexible tail must be removed to access the microUSB charging port.

Note: A battery icon also appears next to the Bluetooth icon at the top of your phone's screen (if your Bluetooth-enable device's OS supports this feature), indicating the Swimmer Duo's battery level.

Auto Power Off: If the Swimmer Duo is powered on, whether connected or not with no music playing, it will automatically turn off after eight minutes if the Bluetooth connection isn't paired with a device.

Q
What size threads or bolt screws into back?

A
The BOOM Swimmer Duo doesn't have any threaded inserts for 3rd party mounting--instead, they include a flexible tail that can be looped, twisted or "snaked" for several different mounting possibilities. You can also remove the tail and attach the included suction-cup, in order to mount the speaker to virtually any flat surface. If you would like to discuss further, feel free to contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. Hope that helps!
