If you have read the latest Swimming World you probably saw the article on the swimmers snorkel. Has anyone used this device and if so what are your comments.
Also, when I went to the Finis website I found that they also make a freestyle swimmers snorkel and a cardio cap that fits on the snorkel. The freestyle swimmers snorkel angles the exiting water further back then the regular swimmers snorkel. Is this design better than the original design for freestyle swimmers.
I would like to hear from those of you who have used this piece of equipment.
Thanks!!!

It's a great tool. Get the regular one, not the freestyle one, and forget about the cardio cap. I wouldn't do a hard swim workout with the snorkel, and instead would just use it when working on technique. It really does help when you don't have to adjust your style every 3 strokes to breathe.
It's also great for kicking, especially butterfly. In this scenario, you'd be getting more of a workout.
I plan to hit the pool tonight on my own just to work on some drills with the snorkel. During workouts, I find it too hard to work on technique because I'd be slowed down so much.
Get one! You won't be sorry.
