Help me learn to love my snorkel

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?

  • I just got one recently and have still not got the hang of it. After maybe like 400 yards max done as 25s with this, I resorted to buying a noseclip to wear with the snorkel, the combined look really emphasizes the 'dorkel' moniker. I'm still struggling with it, but I've removed the nasal distraction so I can focus on my technique. Flip turns, even with a noseclip, seem like a dreamworld away.
