Arthritis and knee surgery ended my days as a jogger. I enjoy water aerobic classes, but felt they didn't give me the same level of exercise as did my running. Swimming seemd the best option, however, I'm not a "natural" swimmer. I use the Finis snorkel to swim laps at the gym. I'm able get the same aerobic benefits without having to focus on my breathing. I love it! The design makes lap swimming easy. The first time I used the snorkel, I had a few episodes of feeling panicked because I was keeping my face in the water the whole time. That passed, and now I'm swimming continuosly for up to 30 minutes, which is great for a beginner!
I love to swim and this snorkel keeps me in the water even with two herniated disc in the neck. I did not have any trouble using it whatsoever. It almost feels like cheating because of the constant flow of oxygen, just kept swimming. I highly recommend this snorkel for anyone who wants a good workout whether they have a neck problem or not.
nicest part can use with regular goggles
I am a novice fifty year old swimmer and now I can do laps because I don't have that winded feeling.
good
12 year old daughter competitive swimmer having some difficulty getting used to it without taking in water- primarily on turns. Time will tell on benefits- only have gotten to use it a few times in practice thus far
