Using the Snorkel

Swimmers Snorkels are one of the most useful tools that swimmers of any ability level, from novice to advanced can include in their “swimming tool bag”.  At SwimLabs, we use Swimmers Snorkels for Freestyle, Breaststroke, and Butterfly to practice a variety of swimming techniques, from Balanced Swimming to Powerful Kicking Movements.

This video shows a Hinge and Anchor Drill first without, and then with a swimmers snorkel. By using the snorkel, the swimmer is able to easily keep their body properly balanced and aligned in the water, making it easier to accomplish a forward balanced position, which makes performing this drill easier.
