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 last attended a workout about four years ago. I did not like what the coach a fourteen year old was having master swimmers doing. He was coaching??? three lanes of master swimmers. The head coach working with the other three lanes (a former Olympian). All drills (I hate drills) for 3 days, that was it for me again. End of a come back.
And that probably works fine for a short workout. But our average workout is over 4,000 so if all of that was straight, full-stroke swimming, I'd be full-on Shining-crazy by the halfway point.
And because I can't resist a Simpsons quote ...
"Shh! You want to get sued? Now look, boy: if your Dad goes gaga, you just use that... Shin of yours to call me and I'll come a runnin'. But don't be readin' my mind between four and five. That's Willy's time!"
