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 have the regular model and it works fine.
When I was "getting used to it" I did nothing further than 25's and drills and only used it for 10-15 minutes.
After a couple weeks I started trying flip turns. Nose plugs bother me, I don't want to end up as an old lady with a cauliflower nose so I just forced my self to get used to flipping and blowing through my nose.
Just be patient with yourself for a month(no matter which model you choose) and you won't even have to think about using it.
