Snorkels... Do you find them a help or a hinderance?

Hey Folks,
There is no coral reef where I swim so I find it interesting that more and more fitness and tri swimmers use snorkels during workouts but almost no collegiate team swimmers do at my pool. Has anyone found them to be a great help? By having free flowing air aren't you cheating yourself?

timely thread. i'm actually going to be hanging out near a reef next week :banana:...i'm also in the middle of training for the 1 hr postal. i generally try to go for a bit of a 'real swim' before donning the mask if the water is mellow but if there is any way to improve my swimming while wearing a snorkel and chasing fish, i'd love to hear your ideas.
