Anyone swim with a snorkel?

Does anyone here train or swim with a snorkel? I'm not sure if it would offer any advantages in training, except maybe taking some stress off the back and neck. But I guess this is the place to find out.

    Haven't tried the center mount snorkle myself, but the local Y coach, who is very progressive, uses the snorkels with his kids. He says it helps promote good balance/symetry. I've swum w/ a mask and side snorkle in open water, but found the relatively small diameter of the snorkle I used restricted heavy breathing.
