Swimming Snorkel Centre Mounted

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

What a centre-mounted snorkel is used for?

• It lets you swim without interrupting your swim by breathing, which means you can focus on your technique. Because you don’t need to come up for breath, your head stays still, meaning it is easier to control and observe the rotation of your body. Some research shows an improved aerobic capacity from swimmers who use the centre-mounted snorkel, because the body adapts to handle the CO2 that is found in the same tube the Oxygen enters through.

Different uses:

• You can do lengths of kicking with the centred-mounted snorkel, because it creates a highly realistic head position for the swimmer, always submerged. By using it with a pullbuoy, you can work exclusively on the legs, by focusing on pulling technique and recovery technique.

Recommendations for use:

• The first training sessions must be carried out with moderate intensity and duration, until the swimmer becomes more used to it and so they can have stronger sessions. Before swimming, make sure that your snorkel is comfortable and well adjusted on your head. If you experience difficulty breathing due to water getting up your nose, we recommend wearing a nose clip.
