I'm looking to buy a snorkel, to use while swimming freestyle to work on technique. I've read the reviews of these two snorkels and wanted to see if there was any concensus from readers here.

Based on the product name it would seem like an obvious choice but many reviewers complained about too much water getting into the 'freestyle' snorkel while swimming. However, I'm guessing the 'freestyle' version may be easier to clear after flip turns.
I've never used the freestyle model, but the normal one works fine once you get used to it. I wouldn't buy a nose plug right away. Try it without first. I'm not going to lie, it did take me a while to get the hang of swimming with the snorkel, but getting water up my nose was never the problem.
Just don't get discouraged if at first you feel like you're going to drown. It happens to the best of us! :)
