I bought a Finis snorkel a few years back but I just do not enjoy swimming with it. I find I hold my breath more per 25 than I do in an underwater or hypoxic 25. I haven't even tried doing a flip turn with it yet.
Anyone else go through a similar adjustment phase when they started working with their snorkel? How did you get used to it?
Here's a hint for doing turns with a snorkel: when you're ready to push off the wall try to brace the snorkel against one of your arms. This will keep it from flopping around too much.
You've basically got two options for clearing the snorkel off the walls. You can either continuously exhale throughout the turn (thus keeping the tube clear) or forcefully exhale when you surface (to clear the water).
