We usually buy a one time use underwater camera when we need one.

If I remember correctly, the Coolpix didn't get great CR reviews (maybe slow? Don't remember.)
I have one of the Olympus "Tough" cameras and it has been great. Waterproof, freezeproof, shockproof up to an 8 foot drop. It's been to the top of Kilimanjaro, snorkeling around the world, dropped a bunch of times, given the torture test by two little boys... and it still takes good pictures. Mine is 3 or 4 years old, though, so not sure if they're still making it.

I have a waterproof case on my phone that I currently use for water pictures.

That one seems closest to my price point. The kids kindermusik teacher uses an Olympus and I am always shocked at how good her pictures turn out that she is just literally clicking and not looking at the camera at all. It is crazy.

DH has one of the Olympus shockproof/waterproof cameras too. He actually just dug it out to take it on a fishing trip today. It takes pretty good pictures.
