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

I'm a beginner learning to swim proper freestyle. I bought this at the advice of my nephew who competes. Learning to breathe properly is essential to swimming and it's also the biggest obstacle when you first start out. A snorkel is the best piece of gear I bought as it allowed me to focus on my stroke while taking the breathing out of the equation. I also learned to relax in the water with this on. My swim stroke and my breathing (you still need to train this without a snorkel) have both improved dramatically in the two months since I bought this. I haven't had any issues with the fit of this snorkel it's easy to put on and take off and works perfectly. If you've ever wanted to swim but have struggled with the breathing aspects this is your solution.

I looked at other brands of snorkel, but I decided to go with Finis because this is high quality. I have been using them regularly and I like how they work as intended. It doesn't slide around and is fairly comfortable except it kind of hard on the forehead. I heard I can wear a swim cap so it doesn't dig on my forehead. Overall, I'm very satisfied with its performance.

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-time aid.

As someone who's returned to swimming after a very long layoff, my stroke technique needs some work. A coach recommended getting a snorkel, so after some research I decided on this model. I've had it a few days, and the first thing I can say about it is that it definitely allows you to concentrate on your technique. It is, however, something that will take a while to become truly comfortable with in the pool. One thing I noticed was that I have a tendency to tilt my head and look forward a little more than at the bottom of the pool. Overall, though, it seems like a great tool for improving stroke technique. The head harness fits well with goggles, at least on my forehead. It does, however, seems as though it was designed for someone with a larger head. The harness keeps it in place, even during flip turns, but clearing it without having water go down the wrong pipe will require a bit of practice. I've seen others at practice using this same snorkel, and they don't have any problems so I really think it is mostly a matter of practice and getting used to it. When you first get it, I recommend putting the snorkel in the harness on dry land and adjusting the position up or down so that when the snorkel is in your mouth, the silicone part with the mouthpiece isn't bent up or down. Once you have that figured out, go to the pool and make any refinements you need. Overall, this seems like a good product and good solution to a complex problem. It just takes practice, I guess, to make it really work well.

This snorkel is made with sturdy, thick material. I use 4-5 times for my swimming practices and I love it! The head band is soft and comfortable with adjustable mouth piece. I am very happy with my purchase. I bought it almost a year ago and it still holds the shape, adjustable and functional. Will buy this again for sure!

En primer lugar comentar que es un producto de muy buena calidad, lo llevo usando hace un mes 3/4 veces a la semana y responde perfectamente a las expectativas. El alto de la boquilla es perfecta para evitar la entrada de agua en caso de sumergirnos más de lo necesario sobre todo en el caso de inexpertos como yo, la boquilla resulta cómoda (normalmente estoy sesiones de 50 minutos) y la goma de ajuste a la cabeza encaja y se ajusta perfectamente a través de la pieza negra que conecta con el snorkle.Respecto a la utilidad en sí misma del producto, en mi caso es total, tengo problemas en el cuello y el hecho de no tener que sacar la cabeza para la respiración me soluciona el problema, además me permite concentrarme más en mi forma de nadar.

Très bon produit Nageuse expérimentée en eau libre et piscine je recommande ce produit principalement en eau libre (mer) sa forme et sa taille d’affronter les vagues.

Lo uso in piscina per nuotare meglio , molto pratico , leggero , cinturino in silicone , perfetto per me
