The Swimmerʼs Snorkel is a patented front-mount snorkel that can be worn with any standard swimming goggle.

It consists of a strap, a head bracket, a tube, a flexible mouthpiece, and a purge valve.

An additional piece -- the Cardio Cap -- can be placed over the top of the tube to further restrict the amount of air getting to the lungs. This increases the conditioning and workload by an additional 40%, providing benefits equivalent to those associated with altitude training.

Many of the fastest swimmers in the world use the Swimmerʼs Snorkel every day in practice.

It allows them to work on perfect technique...
...AND because it forces them to get air through a tube rather than at the source, it increases their VO2 max and their ability to deal with CO2 in the bloodstream.

The Swimmerʼs Snorkel is a regular part of training for nearly every elite swimmer in the world.

But the Snorkelʼs real benefit comes when worn by swimmers with less-advanced skills.

The Snorkel allows a swimmer of any ability to relax in the water and maintain a completely laid out, horizontal position.
With a steady supply of air, the swimmer can relax, and swim at normal or even slower speeds, while maintaining a full range of motion.

The Snorkel allows the swimmer to concentrate on body balance, head position, and stroke technique.

Fine points such as hand entry, rotation, and the high-elbow pull are easier to grasp when the swimmer doesnʼt need to worry about air.

For children 12 and under, Finis makes the Jr. Swimmerʼs Snorkel, which is 2 inches shorter in length to account for the possible underdeveloped lungs of younger swimmers.

The Jr. Snorkel also comes with a pair of nose clips, which will help keep water from going up the nose during the introductory period.

**How to Use It:**
Place the strap around your head and adjust the tube and head bracket so that the tube extends directly UP, past your nose and forehead.

Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and flex your cheeks, lips, and mouth to maintain a good seal.

Try a few breaths -- inhaling through your mouth and exhaling mainly through your nose.

Now try some easy kicking, with arms at your sides and eyes looking down. Remember to inhale through your mouth and exhale mainly through your nose.

If you are getting water up your nose, try a pair of nose clips. After a few lengths of kicking, try a single length of swimming.
Swim slowly... so that you can focus on maintaining proper head position, a balanced bodyline, and clean hand entry.

Once youʼre comfortable with the snorkel, you can try a turn and underwater pushoff.

When you go beneath the surface, water will get into the tube, but you can purge it with a powerful exhalation when you get back to the surface.

The Swimmerʼs Snorkel is an ideal tool for doing technique drills because it allows the swimmer to focus COMPLETELY on efficient movements instead of self preservation.

Hand-entry drills, kicking drills, and balance drills take on new meaning with the Swimmerʼs Snorkel.

The Snorkel can be used for breaststroke -- especially when working on the PULL.

It can be used in butterfly -- to work on head position and hand entry.

And for backstroke, it is highly effective at teaching swimmers to maintain a steady head and not to over-reach.

The Swimmerʼs Snorkel is the best tool for teaching great technique in all four strokes.

As a supplemental training tool, swimmers should consider the Freestyle Snorkel, which is great for technique.

The Freestyle Snorkel wraps closely around the head -- promoting a lower head position in the water.

Itʼs hydrodynamic design creates less turbulence and allows for greater stability at higher training speeds, and faster turns.

There is no purge valve on the Freestyle Snorkel, so swimmers must use greater force to purge water from the tube -- thus leading to a greater training effect.

Whichever version of the Swimmerʼs Snorkel you choose, youʼll find it to be the best tool for improving swimming technique...period.
