Swimming Snorkels have so many advantages
You simply can’t swim and not have one!
A swimmer’s snorkels is a tool a swimmer simply can’t train, warm up or warm down without. You will see many top swimmers around the world not just training with one but using it in competitions before and after they race.
Why do Swimming Athletes use a snorkel?
There are many reasons a snorkel is used, the main ones are:
- Eliminating the need to breathe means the swimmer can just focus on their arms, pull and length of stroke without having to worry about turning their head to breathe.
- Assists head position by putting a swimmer’s head at the right water level which stabilizes the stroke efficiency
- Using a snorkel creates balance in the stroke as when you breathe often swimmers have a dominant side and this hinders efficiency and can create overload on one side. Using a snorkel stops the swimmer from breathing and even outs the stroke allowing both sides of the body to be used equally and reducing the chance of injury.
- A snorkel can be used for sprinting or slowing down the stroke to ensure a swimmer gets the feel of stroke balance by just using the arms ensuring better stroke habits most of the time.
Lastly, injury of the neck is also a reason why a snorkel may be used as it means you don’t have to rotate the neck to get a breath of oxygen and can continue swimming by using the snorkel to beathe
