FINIS Original Swimmer’s Snorkel - Center-Mount Design - For Swim Training - Adjustable Fit - Purge Valve - Pink - Adult

This snorkel is great for competitive swimmers on a swim team! At first however, you need to take time to not choke on water. I have had this product for about 2-3 months, and use it almost daily.When doing a flipturn, if you don't hold your breath and then blow the water out of the snorkel aggressively, you will choke on the water when trying to inhale- I learned this the hard way. The only main problem is choking on water when you first using it, and that eventually goes away!The long tube bends and allows for water to come in when you push off the wall aggressively, so you need to be careful about that.The price was definitely a plus, and was recommended by fellow swimmers (I know of other brands that sell snorks, but none were said to be as good as this one). The wear and tear is outstanding- it looks and works as if it's new. My whole team uses only Finis Snorkels, and for good reason.It really is a great product, you just need to become accustomed to it. A+ product!

Works as advertised .

Oh swimmers snorkel, where have you been all my life??? This device has totally changed my lap swimming experience. I feel like Dory the fish and I can Just Keep Swimming lap after lap after lap. I get so much more exercise in the pool thanks to using the snorkel. My teen daughter thinks I look like a dork but I got over that pretty quick as soon as I tried it out. If you're considering a snorkel for lap swimming, just get one. You will love it (and if everyone else uses them I won't be the only weirdo at the pool using a snorkel that all the little kids point at). I did think it was hard and uncomfortable on the forehead at first, but once I got in the water I realized I could really loosen the strap a lot so it didn't put pressure on my head. The strap just needs to be tight enough to keep it from moving back and forth in the water. Turns out that it doesn't need to be tight at all. It's easy to purge if needed, but I rarely find any water gets in there. I'm so glad I finally got me of these after years of contemplating it (I'm cheap). Totally worth the money.

I bought this for snorkeling in Hawaii and it worked great! I have several pairs of prescription goggles leftover from my days as a synchronized swimmer so I was happy to be able to use them with this snorkel. The strap that fits it to your head stayed snug even when pummeled by whitecaps. Also, the tube that runs right between the eyes did not interfere with visibility.Two things to note, though: the strap that goes across your forehead could use more padding for comfort. And if you're wearing this snorkel with goggles, also use a nose clip or your sinuses will fill with water even if you don't try to inhale through your nose. The Pacific was my accidental neti pot on our first snorkeling adventure with this gear but a nose clip fixed it on later outings.

I love this product! My back is fused from shoulders to tailbone, and I can no longer swim on top of the water because I cannot lift my head out high enough to breathe properly. This snorkel has made it possible for me to swim laps again. It’s not as easy to breathe as without a snorkel and so took some getting used to, but I’m excited that I can get back to swimming laps with this product. The mouthpiece is soft and not too large, so it is comfortable to use, and very adjustable in placement. Recommended!

I love this snorkel. It is perfect in every way and I'd highly recommend it. Super simple to use: slip one part onto the other and you are ready to swim. Works beautifully. I dunk it into a bowl of sudsy water ( I use Dawn antibacterial dish detergent), rinse and hang on a door knob to dry after each use. Couldn't be easier.

I swim 3x a week, at a 50 meter pool, for 30 minutes--pretty much non-stop swimming. I have no problem swimming for a longer period of time, except then my neck gets stiff and painful the next day. When I went to see a chiropractor, his first question was, do I swim. It seems that by turning my head, and keeping it out of the water (yes, bad form, but I got used to swiming that way)-- I was straining my neck needlessly.One day I saw a swimmer in one of the faster lanes, with a snorkel, gliding effortlessly through the water. I looked on Amazon, and saw this product, and decided to order it, based on the positive reviews. Several weeks later, I saw the swimmer again, and got a closer look and saw that he also had the Finis snorkel.I've only used the snorkel once, as our pool was closed for maintenance for a month, and just reopened yeseterday. I was a bit apprehensive at first, how the breathing would work, bumping into other swimmers, etc.,But the headgear was not at all uncomfortable, and I had much better peripheral vision than I had expected. I did wear a nose plug, and swim goggles (not full face mask), so the breathing and swimming was very smooth.

I thought because this was rated highly it would work for my lap swims. Wrong. It digs into my head and before I get to ¾ mile it is painful. AND it began leaking after a month, I can't figure where the water is coming in. Will never buy a Finis snorkel again. NEVER.
