Finis Freestyle Swimmer's Snorkel

Funcionan bien para lo que son

Excelente para corregir brazada y poder inhalar a los dos lados , no hace a los personas dependientes , lo dejas cuando quieras.

Le falta que tenga valvula de salida y el plastico de la boquilla es muy duro.

Me parece un excelente producto para el precio. Es resistente y la vez ligero. Me ha servido para mis entrenamientos. Se ajusta muy bien al tamaño de la cabeza.

Lo amo mi favorito

Pésimo producto, lástima las muelas, presiona todo el paladar superior hacia adentro, puede deformar los dientes de la parte superior, dentro y fuera del agua hace resistencia contra las muelas. La dobladura del tubo para la posición, resulta contraproducente, es muy difícil expulsar el agua que entra, la parte del tubo de la boca, no tiene purgador. Nadando si entra mucha agua da la sensación de ahogarse y se debe uno de detener para respirar sin el, porque si entra mucha agua al tubo, es casi imposible expulsar el agua. Además el cordón genera una presión excesiva en la frente. Es un producto, corriente, defectuoso, de mala calidad, mal diseñado y además muy caro. Yo nado con snorkels normales de buceo o snorkel, y son mil veces mejores que esta porquería y mucho más baratos.

Great snorkel, lightweight ,excellent for pool training

Es un buen producto

Por prescripción médica utilizó este snorkel, porque he tenido dos esguinces cervicales en tres años y el doctor me recomendó nadar con este snorkel... el primer día que lo use no pude nadar pero PROBLEMA RESUELTO al siguiente día en lo que coordine la respiración con la boca y, días posteriores nade con el tapón de nariz y YA ESTÁ todo perfecto y así ya no lastimó mi cuello. UNA MARAVILLA

Busca un tubo que me permitiera hacer virajes y bucear. Este es estupendo. No entra nada de agua al girar ni al bucear ni altivarte de cabeza. Probé con otros como decathlon y speedo y entraba agua a cascoporro y se giraban y me limitaban entrenamiento.Es cierto que no tiene drenaje de saliva. Yo soplo fuerte y las saco como si fuera una ballena...asunto arreglado.También es duro en la sensación de la boca y al principio hizo pupas o heridas muy pequeñitas. En una semana me he acostumbrado y ya no me salen mas.Estoy encantado con mi tubo...y con los entrenamientos que me marco...A TOPEEEEEE...!!!!

I am a former competitive swimmer who now swims for fitness. This is the 3rd one I have owned, and I have gifted a couple others. This is a great training tool, it is not really intended as a recreational snorkel as wave action and improper head position will fill the tube with water. It’s best use is in lap pool swimming.This is a long comment but IMO this is the most important training aid in my swim bag.Here is what I love about this snorkel:1. The design forces the user to maintain proper head position for freestyle as there is a natural tendency to look at the wall one is headed towards and this slight movement lifts the chin which causes the hips to sink, making swimming slower and harder. One can concentrate on technique in several areas when unemcumbered by breathing cycle of the stroke. That being said , you should try to synchronize the breathing to where you would normally breathe in the stroke cycle , exhalation and inhalation to avoid bad habits. The only other training aid I have found that reinforces good head position are “prism” style goggles like Speedo Hydralign or better yet Arena Swedix goggles- both of these allow you to look slightly forward while actually keeping head down. As an added benefit , if you have back or neck issues, having proper alignment from this tool minimizes or relieves the stress of hyperextended cervical and lumbar spine in swimming freestyle.2. The snorkel balances out the right and left arm in terms of load distribution and allows you to see things like hand entry ( which should be in front of the shoulder) and to monitor other technique like early vertical forearm ( “ high elbow catch position) which is also crucial for freestyle. Most of us breathe on a favorite side, which is great for races but tends to overuse/overdevelope on side. The freestyle centerline snorkel strengthens your weaker side, and can help you swim straighter. Paddling a surf board has a similar benefit.3. In addition to stroke technique , not having to focus on breathing technique allows you to pay attention to hip rotation and extension as well as proper position for kicking- with or without fins. Some coaches now advocate kicking without kick boards and again, if you have neck or back problems it can be useful to kick with the snorkel instead of a board. It’s also allows you to do flip turns as you reach the wall rather than grabbing the wall when using a board.4. There are additional aerobic benefits too- even without the optional “cardio cap” (which I wouldn’t use until you are completely comfortable with the snorkel).5. It works particularly well when simultaneously using a pull buoy, either traditional or ankle /leg Finis design. I also use it for breast stroke and breast stroke kicking. Synchronization with butterfly a bit trickier but kicking can go fine, esp w/ fins for butterfly.There is a bit of a learning curve for this device but it will become routine after just a few workouts. Start with 200 yds/meters a session then add on more after 5 or so swims. After you get the hang of it you can go any distance.The lack of a purge valve is actually a good thing: it forces proper technique and teaches you to get a good breath heading into the wall if you are doing flip turns. Flips turns require some air to blow out/ purge the snorkel after pushing off the wall underwater just before surfacing.It takes a little practice. Purge valves can start getting a bit nasty after a while and trap a bit of moisture after use.DO NOT try to use the “dry top” with this snorkel model- it doesn’t work( due to the angle of the opening above water).Swimmers and triathletes use and appreciate centerline snorkels, and Finis Freestyle is the best for swimming mainly free IMO. Swimming and triathlete coaches also recommend centerline snorkel use.Sorry for massive comments.Hope this helps.

I have been using the regular tall version for a year and decided to try the freestyle version.I find it forces me to look down and align my head in water to the proper position. If I don't, water gets into the snorkel. So it actually is good.Also, water gets in a lot easier. Turbulence from other swimmers will create waves and let water in. So it's important to learn how to expel water with a strong blow when that happens.For sure this snorkel is not for open water snorkeling, but it's great for lap swimming using freestyle only.The air flow is very good and allows me to concentrate on my strokes without worrying on breath rhythm.

Excellent produit très bonne adaptation bonne manufacture à vraiment tester en piscine ou en mera utiliser en club de plongee
