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

This is an excellent piece of swimming gear. I use it during my kicking drills so I can conserve energy for the rest of my 60-minute swim workout. I've tried several swim snorkels over the years, but this one stands out for its comfort, stability, and ease of breathing. It allows me to focus on my technique without worrying about turning my head to breathe, which makes my training sessions more effective. I've been using it regularly for over a year, and it has held up very well. If you're looking for a reliable snorkel for swim training, I highly recommend this one.

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.

You guys, wow, this product. This product, you guys, wow. You guys, wow, this product. I'm a novice swimmer, having taken only a few lessons in my adult life. I'm still uncomfortable with my breathing while swimming. Sometimes I can make it one length of the pool without making a breathing mistake (perhaps not enough hip twist), but more often than not I have to briefly stop swimming to collect myself or cough up an ounce of pool water. I find myself huffing and puffing because I begin to panic. I'm not totally out of shape since I bike and run (and swim, poorly) often; in fact, my motivation for purchasing the Finis Swimmer's Snorkel is to improve the first leg of triathlon. Boy, does this product deliver. I'm able to focus completely on my technique, giving me some confidence and an enjoyable workout. I can easily swim the length of the pool and it feels wonderful. I use the snorkel to warm up and warm down, swimming without the accessory during most of the activity. I did get a few sideways glances from some of the folks at the gym but I'm not there to impress, I'm there to become a better swimmer. The snorkel felt a little awkward at first but once I began swimming I no longer noticed it. I was in the zone. For the first time I actually felt my shoulders during the swim, i.e., a shoulder workout. This snorkel is definitely worth a shot.

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 consider 1. 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.

I'm close to being a senior now.... and a long-time runner. Last year I developed persistent and nagging heel problems that caused me to seek other exercise that gave me the same cardio workout, but was a lot easier on the joints. Sooooo, I literally jumped into the pool and started swimming. I could barely do a lap or two without running out of breath and flapping my arms or dog paddling. Obviously I needed to figure out how to swim. After a little research, I realized I needed to invest in a few things - this swimmer's snorkel, pr. of nose clips, ear plugs, swimmer's cap and fins (DMCSWim training fins) in Feb 2012 (now 18 months ago). Wow; I am now swimming 10,000 meters each week (2,500 mt sessions 4 days a week) and absolutely loving the workout!! Without this snorkel, I would have given up on swimming. With it, I can work on a good swimming technique and I really get a great workout. My weight is down and I just really feel great! I still run 3 days a week, but very short distances (3.5 miles) and quite slowly. The heel pain is almost nonexistent, but I'm going to stay with swimming. FWIW, I weaned myself off the fins about 3 months ago. At first I used the fins the entire distance, but over time took them off for increasingly longer distances. Obviously, it's a better workout without the fins, but they helped me immensely get comfortable as a swimmer. The snorkel has worked extremely well. I do clean the purge valve every other week or so and only once in a while do I find myself needing to "clear" it while swimming. Also, I wear a swimmer's cap that is low in my forehead and the snorkel rests on the cap, not the skin of my forehead. This is very comfortable for me. Also, I do really need the nose clips and ear plugs. My sinuses have always bothered me and keeping water out is essential. So, to sum it up, I really love this snorkel. My wife is considering getting into swimming after listening to me tell my buddies just how much I the sport/exercise. I support her no matter what, but if she does want to get into swimming for exercise, I'm sure she'll want to get this snorkel as well.

Best snorkel I’m a beginner I need all the help This is the third snorkel I tried. The fit is comfortable No water leaks in

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.

I bought a Finis swimmers snorkel 10 years ago. LOVED IT. It was great, comfortable, sturdy, and held up really well. Finally, this year the headband strap broke and the soft rubber mouth part was starting to show wear. So I bought a new one. Because of weather and work, it took me a few weeks to finally get back to the pool and use it. What a huge disappointment. Finis has clearly changed a number of things on the previous design. The snorkel looks nearly identical, but it is SO SO uncomfortable. I can’t wear it for more than one lap as the hard head band is painful. No adjustments I make help. He mouth piece is smaller but more awkward in my mouth. And, to make all of these worse, the headband comes off while I’m swimming, which results in sudden influx of pool water through the snorkel into my mouth. This is supposed to help me swim laps, but result in me coughing and spluttering in the middle of the pool. I gave it three tries for laps, and when no amount of ‘breaking in’ was making it better, I decided to return it. Of course, I missed the return window by a day. So now I’m stuck with this piece of junk. Save your money and the actual physical pain of getting this to work, and buy a different brand.

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.

ottimo prodotto per chi nuota e vuole migliorare la tecnica. materiale ottimo, boccaglio morbido ed ergonomico, frontale comodo e regolabile. come il solito gli accessori finis sono tra i migliori presenti nel mercato.

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.

also ich hätte nicht gedacht, wie genial der Schnorchel wirklich ist. Zum Hintergrund: Ich bin seit meinem 6 Lebensjahr aktiver Wettkampfschwimmer (jetzt 23 Jahre alt) und habe drei mal in der Woche Training. Das Kraulschwimmen lag mir aber nie so recht, auch weil sich mein Nacken immer ziemlich schnell verspannte. Irgendwie war die Atmung das Problem. Jetzt, nach mehrmaligem Gebrauch sind die Nackenbeschwerden zurückgegangen und das Kraulschwimmen macht richtig Spaß. Ich kann diesen Schnorchel echt nur weiter empfehlen, denn die Schwimmlage verbessert sich ebenfalls. Dies ist bestimmt für Einsteiger ebenfalls ein gute Sache. Nebenbei: Das Schwimmen mit dem Schnorchel hat das geschafft, was Krankengymnastik u. Massagen nicht geschafft haben, Entspannung und Lockerung der Nackenmuskulatur. :-) Daumen hoch Wer das Training noch ausweiten oder vielmehr intensivieren will (Konditions- bzw. Lungentraining), dem empfehle ich die "Finis Cardio Cap". Dabei handelt es sich um eine Aufsatzkappe, die den Eintrittsquerschnitt des Schnorchels verkleinert. Man muss quasi gegen einen Widerstand atmen. Gut Nass, freue mich schon auf das Training heute Abend. :-) Ich bin einfach nur begeistert.

För den som ska öva sig att crawla är detta en fantastisk produkt som andas kvalitet. Sitter som en smäck och fungerar som den ska.
