Freestyle snorkel is a harsh mistress.Regular snorkel first?

Just bought a freestyle snorkel. Not going well. Longest I've gone without sucking water is about 10 yards. Usually, it's about five. I'm just doing the most basic exercise with it: lying facedown in fins and kicking. Should I buy a more forgiving snorkel as a stepping-stone, or should I, forgive the pun, just suck it up?

    Maybe your head position is too low, or too high depending on the angle of the snorkel. My snorkel gives instant feedback (water in the tube) when my head position is too low, which is my natural inclination.
