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 is a very long storey. I have written about it many times. Lots of mileage as a kid and a teen. Lots of cycling, lots of running...
Was a middle distance swimmer until age of 17. Sick then started swimming sprints. Used technique with very little swimming. Played lots of waterpolo. Had many ups and downs never won a medal at the Olympics. Won a Silver at the Pan Am Games in 1955, beaten by Clarke Scholes.
Became a Marathon Swimmer in 1963. Raced in marathon swims for about 10 years. Now that is when I trained hard, reason needed to win Money.
