Product Description
Front-mount snorkel, U.S.A. Patented
Amazon.com
Designed for athletes in training, this snorkel allows you to relax in the water and maintain a completely laid out, horizontal position while you focus on improving your technique. It has a patented center-mount design that allows it to be worn with any standard swimming goggle, and it's hydrodynamic, so that it slips easily through the water. The tube also limits oxygen intake, which increases lung capacity and anaerobic stability.
A one-way purge valve helps expel water from the tube if the snorkel is submerged. The snorkel also features an adjustable head bracket so that you can get the optimal fit.

About FINIS
Founded in 1993 in Northern California, FINIS was started by John Mix and Olympic gold medal swimmer Pablo Morales. The two understood that technique is the key to swimming faster and enjoying the water more. The Monofin and the Swimmer's Snorkel were the first products they developed for the U.S. market. Afterward they continued to focus on creating training tools for swimmers and coaches. Many of these products are currently used by U.S. and international Olympic teams, elite triathletes, and fitness swimmers worldwide.
Innovative research and design is FINIS's highest priority. This dedication has resulted in truly unique products. These include the Swimmer's Snorkel, which is recognized as the paramount tool to improve a swimmer's technique; the SwiMP3, which uses bone-conduction technology to play music instead of using ear buds; and the Z2 Zoomers fins, which demonstrate an intimate understanding of swimming musculature, hydrodynamics, and engineering.
- Used by the best coaches and the fastest athletes in the world.
- Swim at normal and much slower speeds with perfect stability and a full range of motion.
- Concentrate on body balance, head position and stroke technique by eliminating rotation in the breathing cycle.
- Includes a purge valve for easy clearing of water.

FINIS Swimmer's Snorkel Reviews

Center Mount) and DO NOT buy the FREESTYLE version!I first bought the FINIS Swimmer Snorkel (I will now refer to this as the Center Mount)from Amazon. I left it at the YMCA on accident and it disappeared. I accidently bought the FREESTYLE version as a replacement. Here is what I learned... 1. You DO NOT Need a nose plug with either style, contrary to other reviews. 2. The Center Mount has a purge valve in which any excess water falls below the breathing apparatus and is pushed out on the exhale. The Freestyle DOES NOT have a purge valve. 3. Both snorkels work best with your head straight down. You shouldn't be turning your head with your body when you swim anyways, so this is nothing new. 4. NEITHER worked well with flips or diving under water. Clearing these snorkels with a strong exhale didn't seem to work comfortably or 5. BEGINNER swimmer...you can focus on technique without having to worry...

It works great, and is really letting my get in better workouts. I have only two minor complaints. It should come with a nose clip, as it is nearly impossible to inhale without getting at least a little water up your nose, I suggest buying one with the snorkel. Also, the plastic of the snorkel becomes pretty soft if exposed to heat, which can cause the snorkel to bend. Make sure you don't leave the snorkel in your car on any warm day, or it will almost definitely be twisted or curved, and is very difficult to get back to its original shape. 29 of 30 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Finis Swimmer's Snorkel (Sports) First, let me say, swimming with a snorkel is absolutely addictive. 5 months ago I fell and seriously damaged my knee. So much so that I was bed ridden for almost three of those months and lost nearly all of my muscle and respiratory fitness. I went from biking 60 miles a weeks to complete inactivity gaining 40 lbs in the process. Once I COULD walk, the ONLY aerobic exercise I was capable of... was swimming. Even though I use to swim competitively when I was young, I was so out of shape, I could hardly swim a lap without gasping for air. So I decided to try the Finis Snorkel. WOW what a difference! I went from barely swimming 20 laps in a workout to swimming almost 200 in just under 2 months. I've lost 20 lbs swimming 2 hrs 3-4 times a week. The snorkel is the only main reason. Since the snorkel allowed me to swim much longer and much harder than I would otherwise, my knee recover was likely cut in half... (my surgeon was amazed).I like the facing forward design and have...
