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?

I looked up this question before I posted my snorkel question. Breathing fully ventilates a standard length snorkel, so the swimmer is not breathing co2 laden/02 depleted air.
I can provide the links to the data if you want.
