I think this is a great product. It helps our swimmers maintain body position while swimming and kicking.

Versatile and easy to use. All ages can get comfortable with proper body position

I wanted to thank you for bringing the Finis Snorkel to market. I was born without the first cervical vertebrae in my neck. I have a had a stiff neck my whole life and have grown use to it as a way of life. I have always been active including swimming but it was always a chore to time my breathing in between strokes. Turning my head in and out of the water was not helping me enjoy the benefits of swimming. When I found your product I decided to give it a try. This absolutely changed everything!. With my head in the water the entire time, my breathing improved increasing my endurance and I could concentrate on my rhythm and stroke efficiency. This product is allowing me fully experience the benefits of swimming without having a pain or strain on my neck. Now I can't wait to get back in the pool. Thank You So Much for this product!

I purchased this item three months ago. I use it three times a week. I have been disappointed to find that the purge valve does not have a good seal between the snorkel plastic and the valve. I have contacted Finis to determine if they can either replace the snorkel or advise me on steps to take to correct this defect.

very helpful! can focus on stroking itself.

I've always wanted to add swimming to my workout routine but years of panicking while trying to breathe made me a little gun-shy. The Swimmer's Snorkel is letting me getting all the cardiovascular benefit without the fear of dying! Love it and am so happy to have found it.

Head bracket uncomfortable, broke in no time! Replaced with neoprene jr. Head bracket barely fit but 10 x's. more comfortable! Purge valve often leaks 1 yr of minimal use (tore rotator cuff) & the mouth piece....tiny part that goes over teeth broke and I nearly chocked on it.....scary moment! Not happy, I can't seem to purchase a replacement mouth piece.

Price for the snorkel, after the value I get from the positive developmental change of a swimmer's stroke after utilizing the snorkel, is worth the expense. I have used the snorkels for 3 years and the product stands the test of use, chlorine, and sun. I am happy to have the Finis snorkel in my arsenal coaching tools.

Great product Great with backstroke Use them everyday

The snorkel is an integral park of our training/teaching. We use it for training and drill work. I wish the snorkel was lighter and smaller for age groupers. Our local swim store does not carry the Jr model.

Great product very easy for all to use,

I love these. It keeps my swimmers balanced, allows them to focus on their underwater stroke mechanics, and helps them build their lung capacity.

I use the Finis center-mount snorkel on a daily basis as it helps with balancing my stroke and also keep my head in the correct position. It is also helpful with my long-distance open water training where keeping my head down, zoning out, and just going is important.

This product is so valuable for body and head alignment. It allows the swimmers to focus on their technique work, kicking, with correct body alignment, while building up the lung capacity. All my swimmers are currently using the snorkel on a daily basis for freestyle, breaststroke and butterfly training. I have also recommend lap swimmers and elderly lap swimmers at our pool to use the snorkel. It has allowed the elderly swimmers especially to exercise comfortably. In the past they had poor habits or injuries that made workout uncomfortable. Now they are able to swim longer and pain free by using the snorkel. Best product for all ages and ability levels!!

This tool deserves more attention with other competitive athletes like Tri's. I have recommended this snorkel to Tri's and those who have purchased it are in love with it! It has great benefits for them as well: allowing greater focus on stroke in totallity, restricted airflow for greater conditioning with use of cap and breathing technique. The later we found very beneficial for our Tri's to keep their heart rate down allowing for an easier transition to the bike!

The elimination of rotational breathing allows the swimmer to focus on other aspects of streamlining, body balance, and propulsion.

The Swimmers' Snorkel has helped me improve my head position in the water and allows me to work many drills more effectively since I don't have to stop and breathe.

Great! Forehead strap is very well positioned. I find it fits everyone very well. Good, strong piece of equipment. Haven't had any problems so far! Would recommend it to anyone!

Works very well for teaching beginners as well as experienced swimmers who want to fine tune technique. Allows for great feedback on head movement when you swim on top of black line and allows the swimmer to focus on arms or legs without having to worry about breathing. Great for sculling drills.

This is the single most important piece of equipment that needs to be in each swimmers bag!

The snorkel is excellent for teaching butterfly with fins. I also like that you can use it with the hip rotation clicker and 'get in the zone' without worrying about breathing to the side.

The snorkel allows for stroke improvement while not worrying about breathing. Even my 8 yr old enjoys swimming with the snorkel.

Great product. All the swimmers enjoy it. Great addition to the training regimen.

my wife bought me the first Finis snorkel after I had tried manufacturing a front mount on my own. I still train with that snorkel and have only had to replace the purge valve once. Quality and durability is A-1.

Great for technique use and for workouts too! Long aerobic sets, kicking for body position and critical for a teaching tool.

I recommend this product to all swimmers of all ages. Great tool to minimize breathing issues to focus on the pull pattern of strokes.

Great for training as well as technique work

The more I use it, the more ideas I get for using it. I have to temper my use though, as I find myself creating bad habits after correcting many others- but such is the nature of the sport!

Tremendous product that is critical in providing swimmers the opportunity to focus on body balance, alignment and a focus on a high elbow catch. I believe a high elbow catch is one of the most critical skills for a world class stroke.

The center mount snorkel is versatile for swimmers of all levels of skill. It allows me to feel the rotation of my freestyle come from from the drive of my hips, without any head movement. I highly recommend it for all who are looking to enhance lung capacity and achieve a flawless stroke technique.

Love this swim snorkel. It is great for teaching the rotation of freestyle without the breath, which helps swimmers feel their balance in the water.

The swimmer snorkel works well for the older swimmers as an invaluable too in helping them balance out their stroke and get in a rhythm. It has a lot of uses but I also like to use it to kick in a line.

Since we started using the front mounted finis snorkel, my team's technique has improved tremendously. We use them everyday; in drill sets, pulling sets, kicking sets and during hard and easy swimming sets. Many of my swimmers choose to use it even when they are not told that they have to.

Very helpful in correcting posture issues and core sway in weaker swimmers.

Using the snorkel allows beginners and advanced swimmers to focus on the symmetry of the stroke

Enjoy the snorkel for training, it enables no head movement to focus on technique!

The Finis snorkel is a great tool to help swimmers work on and develop correct body position as well as to be able to use while focusing on stroke technique without the interruption of breathing. I use it regularly and my swimmers progress quickly through the use if the snorkel.

Simple for swimmers to adjust. Had for two years in good condition and all the parts work.

We love using the FINIS Snorkels in our practices. This is one of the best tools to keep younger swimmers heads "rock solid"

Would you like to have lots of air at the end of every race? You have to learn to exhale strong, so the lung cavity is empty and the inhale is as good as the first inhale every time! It's your diaphragm that must strengthen, the front end snorkel, does exactly that!

We love to use the center snorkel for teaching rotation and stroke finish as well as timming of breathing

The swimmers snorkel is great for focusing on body position and correcting hand entry and extension. Too many athletes focus on their breathing and then will either over extend, cross over stroke, short stroke, or press in the wrong direction. By limiting head movement it is very easy to feel when your stroke is incorrect or inefficient and then you can use the snorkel to create muscle memory of the correct and efficient form. I like to couple this with the tempo trainer so that speed and glide can be incorporated into correct stroke form.

The Swimmer Snorkel addresses -- and corrects -- one of the major impediments to fast swimming. Excessive swimmer head movement creates added lateral movement and increased resistance. Use of the Swimmer Snorkel leads to smoother and faster swimming. Besides suit and goggles it should be the one piece of equipment a swimmer takes to the pool.

I use snorkles with my advanced groups and they ask to use them all the time now.

use the snorkle for kick training, has lasted several years without leaking.

The FINIS snorkel is a great tool for working on rotation, pace, and overall stroke mechanics. I fully recommend this product.

Comfortable. Able to focus on rotation & head positioning, as well as breathing.

The Finis Snorkel is a fantastic product to work on breathing drills and stroke technique. You can learn to control the timing on breathes and also work on Controlling your lung expansion during warm down drills. I also teach stroke and hand position with use of the snorkel where you can monitor your complete stroke movement without moving your head and eyes. I also use the snorkel during streamlining drills. We focus on body position and streamlining using fins and just kicking. We stretch and reach with our arms and focus on making the smallest hole thru the water as possible. Great product.

The snorkel sits nicely in place without any parts leaving a mark on the head

Cheap and easy to use on almost all sets. really improves body line and improves aerobic capacity. Takes a while for some kids to get used to but there are great benefits to this product

Very good tool for body/head position and for working so a symmetrical stroke in winter- open water season demands good base and balance

I've been using the FINIS snorkel in my own training for many years. The ability to control the airflow in the vent, as well as the well-designed purge valve, make training longer repeats both more challenging and technically simpler than with other snorkels.

The swim snorkel is a great tool to allow swimmers to focus on their technique, especially during drills, while not interrupting their stroke patterns while breathing. This tool allows swimmers to first understand how to symmetrically roll their body's, before incorporating the breathing, which often causes a bias.

I love using the snorkel with my younger swimmers. They are able to work on keeping their head still and feeling their catch without worrying about turning their head to breathe,

A snorkel is a great learning and refinement tool. It removes the issue of "How do I get air?" from the variable mix long enough to allow the swimmer to focus on the fundamentals of "How do I get from here to there?" Also, it is a great diagnostic tool. By switching back and forth between snorkel and breathing normally a swimmer can quickly determine whether issues/problems are breathing related or not. I require all my swimmers to own and use a Swimmers Snorkel.

As a past competitive swimmer, using a Swimmer's Snorkel allowed my strokes to flourish. It allowed me to stabilize my head position so I could better work on body position and long axis strokes. Now that I am a swim coach, I see the same strength in my swimmers when we use the Swimmer's Snorkel. This product lasts for years and is a great tool to use in practice.

Excellent construction. Fits well, easily adjustable. Very comfortable. I leave it in the back of my car with my other swim supplies in the hot sun and it has not cracked or warped or faded or dried out...

Finis snorkel has allowed our swimmers to become more aware of our hand entry and body position

Best tool for setting line in freestyle

The snorkel has been an invaluable tool for me while coaching. It helps to take the breathing out of the swimmers stroke so they can focus on rotation and pull. It is a great tool to use to build lung capacity in older more experienced swimmers.

I love the snorkel for both training and technique work. It really eliminates the issue of high head position and head movement during swimming.

Good product , all our coaches recommend to swimmers.

Excellent product that is really useful to every swimmer or swim team

Great product. Would recommend to anyone starting off swimming or to the elite of competitors.

Excellent product, most used piece of equipment

The snorkels are a great way for my athletes to get get a good amount of kicking in while having the body in proper alignment. I kick about 1500 yards a practice and so I use the snorkels everyday.

excellent training tool so my swimmers can concentrate on their strokeŠ—_.I now have nearly a dozen swimmers using the snorkel daily

This review is for the previous model swimmer snorkel. Our swimmers benefit greatly from the snorkel; however, I have noticed that new colors and lower prices are now available. We would love to see the snorkels last a little bit longer; however, understand that they are not meant to last forever.

As a 50-something lifelong swimmer and Masters coach, I recommend the Finis front mount snorkel for anyone experiencing or wishing to prevent neck mobility issues. I use it exclusively for kicking with my Finis streamline (triangle) board. It permits me to keep my spine straight, face down while kicking, rather than lifting my chin to breathe and crunching my cervical spine. It also takes pressure off my shoulders and keeps my body in the correct streamline position. When I really want a challenge, I swim with it and build my lung capacity at the turns.

The snorkel is very helpful when working on body rotation drills. It helps swimmers balance out a lopsided stroke. The only downside is that the mouthpiece can get mold and mildew inside and it is difficult to clean out.

really nice could be cheaper

Disappointed, the clip on the strap broke on the first use and no replacement part for this.

My son is getting use to wearing a snorkel for the first time. This has been a good one. Finis is a great brand and great company that stands behind their products. I would recommend any of the Finis product line.

Perfect tool for kids to learn proper head position and stabilize the body line!

We use the Snorkel Jr with primarily the 13-18 year old senior team but also find that our age groupers 8-13 can adapt to the Snorkel Jr much easier than any other snorkels. The Snorkel Jr provides comfort and ease of use with the velcro adjustable head piece as well as the smaller mouth piece. It gives the younger swimmer the security that they will be able to breath and the older more experienced swimmer a nice solid piece of equipment that they can use year to year.

The use of this product allows swimmers to train without changing the head position. This enhances streamlining and rhythm. The curve in the tube allows the swimmer to turn while sending water back away from face.

Never run out of breath. Especially for a beginner, a key piece of equipment to start somebody off well. My lung capacity seemed to increase after months of using this snorkel.

Amazing snorkel & even better with the Cardio cap or Snorker dry top.

The snorkel is a wonderful training aid. It works every time. Easy breathing to use with kicking and kickboard exercise. Well engineered!!

This snorkel + Dry Top + EVO Monofin are prefect for butterfly training!

Purchased this snorkel after reading a review of them from YourSwimLog.com. The front mounted tube makes it much easier to focus on swimming with great technique. Also love using it for sculling. I was a bit late to the swim snorkel game, but adding it to my swim training has really helped improve feel for the water and technique. Five stars
