There are pros and cons of each

some float on water

you need a cord to upload them.
iphone5 PROS

one devices that does it all
CONS

$$$lower quality photos than a camara

I have the lifeproof iphone 5 waterproof case. It doesn't affect sound quality at all, it comes with a water damage warrantee they'll replace your phone if it's water damaged in the case, they make a float for it. It adds a little bulk but it's cool. Picture quality is still as great as ever. Don't buy a camera it would be a waste of money str8^

If you are diving into deep waters, most Iphone cases wont work. But if you are only filming yourself in swimming pools, I suppose Iphone cases will be fine.

get an iphone 5 case, but make sure you get a reliable one. They are also cheaper, and I don't think you need a camera just for filming around in a swimming pool. Uploading pics to your phone can also be such a hassle.

You have made it clear that having a phone with you at all times is more important than image quality and that you would prefer not to have two gadgets. Therefore get the best waterproof camera case you can afford.
Alternatively get a Sony Z1 and set it up so that it can synch important data with your iphone

What about a go pro hero 3 or 3+ as this can connect up to your iPhone so you can upload images!
