Without having to lift my head to breath, this snorkel allows me to keep my shoulders and neck  very relaxed so my "swimmer's shoulder" is not so aggravated.  I can also swim a modified freestyle without taking my arms out of the water.  And I found it very easy to use, though I'm still exploring the possibilities.

I am sixty yrs old and started swimming four years ago.  I am in the best condition possible, and the snorkel is the tool that has allowed me to do this.  I don't have the stress and strain on my neck, therefore allowing me the freedom to swim in great confort. I love what the snorkel has has allowed me to acomplish.

A great tool to make my swimming workout more effective. Coordinates my breathing with stroke to just let me concentrate form.

This snorkel has helped with lap swimming; not only with body positioning and stroke technique, but also with breathing. The snorkel remains in position while swimming and is remarkably forgiving on turns. Great product!

Someone said, you look crazy with that...  All I can say is it has helped my breathing in swimming.  I think it was one of the best items that I have purchased in a long time.  My mother is in her fifties and swims every day, and she was glad I got her one too.  So it a family affair now it is wonderful.

This is a good snorkel for a workout swimmer.  I am a beginner swimmer and probably could have used a snorkel that would not take on water until I learned to keep my head up.  This snorkel does force you to keep your head up during the workout.  Another reviewer mentioned how they do make you look like a dork, but it is worth it.  It works so well that I can keep myself under for the whole workout and do not have to worry about breathing while working on my stroke.
