Speedo Unisex-Adult Swim Training Snorkel Bullet Head

I'm a beginner swimmer and have trouble with freestyle, but am relatively good at breaststroke. This snorkel is excellent at helping me practice the freestyle stroke technique in a streamlined position without stopping to as frequently to gasp for air. It is also good for kick board flutter kick drills - you can focus on technique. The snorkel is light and well constructed. The strap adjusts and fits well and the forehead adjustment is intuitive and functional. There is no purge valve at the bottom of this snorkel, which I didn't know about, but I don't think I would need it anyways. The snorkel isn't too restrictive in its air flow - it is just right for challenging me and letting me get enough air. Very satisfied. The "shocking lime" color was on sale for half the price of the other colors when I bought it, which made the selection a no-brainer - but right now, I see the price jumped back up to normal price. I think I would buy it at the full price, but it would just be a bit more painful knowing the deal I got initially!

Looks like a quality piece of kit. But, be warned… the head strap is stupidly hard to adjust. Messed with it for 30 minutes before I broke out the tools. Here’s a tip… with a pair of pliers squeeze the sides of the buckle. It will bend and stay bent until you make your adjustments. Then squeeze it back in shape.

I loved that I was able to concentrate on my swim form without the extra effort of lifting the head out of the water to breathe. This worked very well for me and resulted in a more beneficial workout. At first, water wanted to get into my nose but after 5-10 minutes of getting accustomed to swimming with the snorkel, I had no problem. A lady also doing laps with a snorkel in the lane next to me said she continues to have a problem with that issue. Perhaps the device that pinches the nose would be helpful.

This is my first snorkel just for swimming laps. The diameter of the chamber is smaller than a snorkel used for scuba and snorkeling activities, therefore giving it a built in air flow restriction for building lung capacity. The shape of the tube has a nice hydrodynamic contour to it. The height adjustment is very good too. The headband padding is OK, but not as comfortable as I would like. The materials used throughout seem excellent...I think it will hold up for some time. A bit pricey, but it IS a Speedo. Anyhow, it works great! I'm already getting used to the air flow restriction. It was shifting to one side a bit at first, but a quick headband tension adjustment fixed that. Also, once after pushing off the wall during a flip turn the mouthpiece almost got torn out of my mouth. I did not have the height adjustment set properly at the same time I had the loose head strap. Once you get everything set up this snorkel is just fine! Clearing water out of the tube after a flip turn(total submerge) is easy. No need for the purge valve that are on other snorkels. Not that there's anything wrong with purge valves on snorkels. I think they work great, just not completely necessary. The silicone mouthpiece is very comfortable. I like it, but if I lose it, I might try another brand first, and then come back to this one. I deducted one star for headband padding comfort and price. Overall not too shabby!

Excellent snorkel for doing laps in a pool. Water only goes in when you are fully submerged. Fits great around head and in the mouth.

This really worked well for me. I needed to buy nose plugs to work with it because I need them. But, pleased with this snorkel.

I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks and I’m satisfied. Comfy and easy to use. Go slow when you first get it, it may feel like your not getting enough air but once you get used to it its great.

I wanted to like this snorkel, but the mouth seal consistently leaked. I actually tried two separate units thinking I got a defective one, and every one of them had the same issue. I finally gave up and bought something else.

Muy cómodo! Es la primera vez que uso snorkel en mi entrenamiento y es muy cómodo, no se me ha metido el agua y no me lastima ni se me mueve, excelente compra! Además el color hermoso, como en la foto.

Its light and comfortable, a very good tool for freesyle beginner.

عصا التنفس ممتاز و يساعد على دخول كمية كبيرة من الهواء و ثابت جدًا. يعيبه أنه قصير قليلًا و يسمح بدخول الماء عند إمالة الرأس قليلًا للأسفل. عند النفخ بقوة يخرج الماء بسهولة، لكنه مزعج قليلًا عند السباحة الحرة لفترات طويلة. مثبت الرأس مزعج قليلًا و انحناءته لمسك الرأس قاسية قليلًا. يترك أثر بسيط على الجبهة عند نزعه بعد السباحة حتى لفترات قصيرة.

Hace como 6 meses compré uno de otra marca y de precio similar. Ya se le rompió el filtro. Los compañeros de mi hijo de natación compraron este y están muy contentos y no tiene filtro. Ya compramos nosotros también estez pero hubiera sido conveniente comprarlo desde el principio.
