center-mount snorkels finis swimmer's vs. frestyle
Former Member
I use a snorkel in my longer pool workouts. I use it for drills & w/u and frankly when I'm too bored! I want to use it to simulate what i can of altitude trianing (not getting enough air).
So that said, my old snorkel (which I first bought @ 8 years ago to use with a mono fin) is tired out (all the plastic is cracking and making the air taste bad). I was going to just repalce it with the swimmer's snorkel which about the same thing but i noticed the free styler which is cheaper and might work better (I have trouble with the old one swinging around off its little pivot which is part of the aging I suppose).
So any advice from anyone, reviews? Likes/dislikes?

Thanks!!! That was the feedback I needed. I don't want to be sucking up my lane-mate's spalshes or a little wind-chop when I'm trying to concentrate on my stroke. I will replace the old swimmer's with a new one. Mine is @ 8 years old (I think I got one of the early ones on the market) and used in the sun in both pool and ocean. It also took a dive to 60 feet (some diver's found it in an underwater canyon and called the phone number I had put on it). I might try duct-taping the joint area for a while to see if it might last a little longer.
