This question is in line with aquashrimps snorkel question . Its under stood that a snorkel can be a usefull aid to swimmers with neck or shoulder trouble to keep from turning (remember some of us are ''fitness" swimmers and could care less about racing) Now my question is if you use a snorkel and swim hard does it increase your aerobic ability.. That is that I think its harder to draw a breath from a snorkel, even a big one, if your swimming fast you are restricted in a way of breathing so if its a bit harder to draw air so is it giving you a better aerobic workout?
Thats what their literature says. I don't notice much difference with a standard center mount. The FINIS freestyle snorkle is definitely harder to breath through,especially if you get water in it. It also has an attatchment you can buy to further restrict the air intake to (supposedly) mimic altitude training.
