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 been using the freestyle snorkel for about a month. A couple of observations. First is that it did take a bit of time for me to be able to flip without getting water up my nose, but once you figure it out it is a non-issue. I was never satisfied with how my snorkel would clear so when I go to do it I lift my head slightly when I blow. it seems to help a lot. Other than that I think it's been great. It has made a significant change in my stroke.
