What a centre-mounted snorkel is used for
The centre-mounted snorkel allows you to swim without being interrupted by your breathing, concentrating on your technique. Because you don’t need to come up for breath, your head stays still, meaning it is easier to control and observe the rotation of your body.
Some research shows an improved aerobic capacity from swimmers who use the centre-mounted snorkel, because the body adapts to handle the CO2 that is found in the same tube the Oxygen enters through.
Various usages
With the centre-mounted snorkel, perform a series of kicks while keeping your head in a realistic position, always submerged. Use the pull buoy to isolate the arm work and concentrate on the pulling and recovery technique.
Our tips on how to use your swimming snorkel
The first training sessions must be carried out with moderate intensity and duration, until you become more used to it and so you can have stronger sessions.
Before swimming, make sure that your snorkel is comfortable and well adjusted on your head.
If you experience difficulty breathing due to water getting up your nose, you can wear a nose clip.
