Why train with the snorkel?

You may be seeing a lot of swimmers in the pool with a snorkel lately. The benefits are tremendous! Everyone should be training with one.

Benefits of training with a snorkel:

• Allows the swimmer the ability to focus solely on stroke technique
• Eliminates interruptions of turning head to breathe
• Increases V02 max
• Increase arm turnover
• Swimmer is able to relax in the water not having to worry about “getting air” or gulping water.
• Helps swimmer aim for perfect technique while remaining horizontal (Allowing for great body balance, head position, rotation, hand entry, catch, etc.).
• Sometimes a nose clip is needed when beginning with a snorkel to prevent water from entering the nose
• Eliminates having to worry about getting oxygen
• Able to practice repeated movements correctly over and over, leading to a properly learned and executed stroke
