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?
It always made me happy when I saw people that I was going to race using gadgets. The worst thing they could use - a kickboard. Next a Pull Bouy. I also never wore goggles for sprinting. Needed goggles for lake swimming or ocean swimming. I have always said I prefer full stroke over all gadgets.
The worst thing they could use is a kickboard? Hmmm, Geo, it seems to have helped Chris earn his TOP 10 RANKINGS. And, what about Fort? She uses fins and is ranked in the TOP 10, as well. I'm sure there are many other Top 10 swimmers who use all sorts of "gadgets" in their training.
Geo, you may prefer full stroke over all gadgets, but those gadgets have sure helped a lot of Top 10 USMS swimmers and Olympic gold medalists! :cheerleader:
