Lectrosonics <http://www.lectrosonics.com/> makes water-resistant=20
body pack transmitters.  These are what TV-show contestants and=20
reality-show players are wearing when they get wet or soaked.

Be prepared for some serious sticker shock, though.  You will be=20
spending several thousand dollars per channel (transmitter, receiver,=20
mic capsule).

Do note: people in the business consider Lectrsonics to be=20
low-cost.  You will understand what they mean by that when you start=20
checking out the prices for the Sennheiser Professional=20
SKM5200(hand-held mic mostly seen on music-type and awards shows=20
(American Idol) or SK5212 body-pack transmitters (used EVERYWHERE)=20
and the companion receivers.  Serious ouch factor there.

The advantage of using professional gear, though, is that it just=20
works.  No muss, no fuss.  And its RELIABLE.
