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? Hoppy Thanksgiving SK
  • An underwater video camera would be a good thing to have while on the reef. Not oly will it provide cool footage, it will keep stroke form in check if bad habits develop with swimming in the ocean all day. Have fun on your trip! ooh...great idea! just got an underwater case for our camera and it has the abilty to video. i don't have any underwater footage of my stroke and this would be a great thing to get in open water.
