For professional open-water swimmer and private swim coach Lexie Kelly, sound is more than entertainment—it can support rhythm, focus and real-time instruction in the water. In her Instagram Reel, Lexie demonstrates how the Tayogo T6 + W25 SwimCombo brings music and coach communication into swim training.

“Talk. Train. Tune in.” The Reel shows how the Tayogo system can become part of a connected swimming session—supporting music, motivation and live coach guidance.
What is the Tayogo T6 + W25 SwimCombo?
The T6 + W25 SwimCombo lets swimmers hear live phone audio underwater without transferring MP3 files to the headset. It works around a fundamental limitation: Bluetooth does not transmit reliably through water.
- The swimmer’s phone connects to the T6 transmitter by Bluetooth above water.
- The T6 converts and broadcasts the audio over an FM channel.
- The IPX8 waterproof W25 receives the signal in Receiving Mode.
Whatever is playing on the phone—Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, podcasts or a training playlist—can be transmitted to the swimmer through the T6.
Important: The W25 has no built-in MP3 memory. In the T6 + W25 SwimCombo, audio is streamed live from the phone through the T6 transmitter.
Why it works for swimmers and coaches
Lexie’s combined experience as an open-water athlete and coach makes the system especially relevant. The same setup can support two common training needs:
- Music and audio for swimmers: add rhythm and motivation to repetitive lap sessions without downloading files.
- Live coach guidance: deliver one-way voice instructions to compatible receiving headsets while swimmers remain in motion.
Coaches can use the T6 for private lessons, technique correction and small training groups. Swimmers receive the instruction directly through the W25 instead of stopping after every lap.
Why choose the W25 receiver?
- Open-ear bone-conduction design for a comfortable training experience.
- Sporty ear-hook fit designed to stay secure during movement.
- IPX8 waterproof protection for swimming use.
- Receiving Mode for live audio from the T6.
- Bluetooth mode above water for everyday listening outside the pool.
- Accessible price for swimmers, private coaches and multi-receiver training sets.
Setup tips for the best experience
- Keep the T6 dry and positioned above the water surface.
- Fully extend the telescopic antenna to improve the signal and reduce static noise.
- Place the transmitter higher with a clear path toward the swimming lane.
- Set the T6 and every W25 receiver to the same channel.
- If interference occurs, change both devices to another matching channel.
- Wear the supplied waterproof earplugs to reduce water noise when using bone conduction.
Music, coaching and better-connected training
Lexie Kelly’s Reel captures the practical idea behind the T6 + W25: swimmers should not have to choose between continuous training and useful audio. Whether the session needs a playlist, motivation or live technique cues, the SwimCombo keeps the swimmer connected while moving through the water.
The T6 provides one-way audio from the phone or coach to the swimmer. For professional long-range team communication, compare Tayogo’s dedicated Swim Coach Communicator systems.
