FINIS Original Swimmer’s Snorkel - Center-Mount Design - for Swim Training - Adjustable Fit - Purge Valve - Yellow - Adult

great product

I’ve been using this snorkel 3x/week swimming around 2500 yards each time.I’ve found the headband to be comfortable.Another swimmer pointed out the need to remove the rubber gasket and rinse it from the valve at the curve and that has made a big difference in water leaking into the snorkel. Not sure if you can buy those rubber parts separately.I have another one in my cart for when this one eventually gives out.

Like all pool training aids, should be used not full-time, but it’s part of your exercise. I truly enjoy the snorkel, as I’m able to concentrate on my stroke, which includes a early vertical forearm and a high elbow. I can concentrate on my glide with my hand in front of me and then the early vertical forearm and the catch pulling back. I also do flip turns with the snorkel.I’m a master scuba diving instructor, and the snorkels is a part of my body. When using the snorkel, try to concentrate on how few breaths you can take to get from One in the pool to the other. Time, your breathing with when you would actually breathe if you weren’t using the snorkel. If you’re gonna do flip turns. You want to use your tongue as another valve. I stick my tongue in the hole between my teeth and then when I exhale hard and sharp to make sure there’s no water in the snorkel. If you’re doing a flip turn. Take a deep breath, tuck your chin, exhale slowly, and continuously through your nose. Once you’re facing down just before you surface exhale through your snorkel. You want to clear the snorkel before it breaks the surface I know it sounds crazy, but it will clear much easier. Take a cautious inhale to make sure that you’ve got all the water out. If you don’t breathe softly until you have enough air again to exhale sharply. It’s a great training aid.You can also use it to Swim fast and hard to increase your pace, but not have to worry about breathing. Just be sure to use it as a tool and not full-timeaid.

Got this product for my kid as required for swim team training. It does work as design and it works pretty well for all style and the one way valve is a great plus.There are few areas you should consider1. It is not heavy but it is not the lightest either. Swimming 20, 30 laps with it is not an issue. But when you get into more serious training 100 -200 laps it would make it difficult. The headband does help keeping it in place. There are other band other swimmer using that's lighter. So depends on your training requirements.2. Flip turns, well just say you will need some used to and change your breathing technique if you plan on using it along with flip turns and the water WILL get into the tube and you will be sucking water and chock. You would need to hold before the turn and brow out as hard as you can after the turn to drain the water in the tube. There is another item that has close valve prevent water from entering during flip turn. Not an issue if you are not training for that.Otherwise this is a very solid build and you won't be disappointed.We do wish they would design with exchangeable mouth piece and storage bag.

Ideally you use it above a reef, but what can u do nowadays with global warming and all :vjk, pretty good

I looked on You Tube and this swim snorkel is what is used by professional coaches. I also got the one piece goggles from the same company. They are more comfortable and don’t pinch. I found that a nose plug is necessary too. I am a senior, and have had two shoulder replacements. I feel clumsy doing the freestyle stroke and lifting my head to breathe is hard. With this swim snorkel, I can go go go. I am sure my stroke will improve over time. What a great tool.

Longtime swimmer and snorkel user. I used the Finis Stability Snorkel for years and the strap broke. I was not able to find an replacement strap so I thought I would try this.1) the bracket that attaches to the snorkel is like two hard knuckles digging into my forehead. Very painful. I do not wear a cap. The Stability Snorkel has a padded concave triangle that was very comfortable to wear.2) the single strap, not very secure. The Stability Snorkel has a long strap that wraps around twice.3) the purge valve rattles. It makes it sound like there is always water in the snorkel, very disconcerting.All in all a very poor design. Will be getting a Stability Snorkel from somewhere else because it is not available from Amazon. Good luck with you personal liberties and free markets jerk weed.

Muy buen producto para entrenamientos de natación. El esnórquel es cómodo y estable, no se mueve al nadar incluso en series rápidas. Permite concentrarse en la técnica de brazada y la posición del cuerpo sin preocuparse por la respiración. La boquilla es cómoda y fácil de limpiar. Excelente herramienta para mejorar el estilo crol y la resistencia.
