How to get started with the centre snorkel

[@leslieyoder8280]

I am a 76 yr. old beginner swimmer. I have taken a beginner swimmer course. So, thanks to your video, I am going to the pool to try your snorkel swimming routine.

[@truthspeakerlive]

Just purchased a snorkel recently and have yet to use it. Thank you for making this video. Simple and informative. Excited to learn how to swim!

[@elstubby]

Thank you for the tips on the process to getting used to breathing with the snorkel on, particularly the part about having water up your nose. Most of the other videos just gloss over this important step

[@yabtoil2001]

Does it wobble?

[@elstubby]

@@yabtoil2001 Has not been my experience. I have not attempted diving nor flip turns with it however

[@ridgeback50]

How about using a nose clip along with this device??

[@sriyanshbhardawaj9290]

Got this today coach ❤ will definitely share the experience soon

[@sriyanshbhardawaj9290]

Yes about that I don't know it's difficult to keep a straight line, wonder what I am doing wrong here, coach need help. Thanks

[@Here-Is-My-Handle]

I used the snorkel so much that I realized I forgot how to breathe on the side lol. But since I don’t swim competitively, it’s not a huge issue for me. The snorkel allows me to push myself to swim harder without having to worry about air.

[@fantaztikbeatz]

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME LOL!!!!!!

[@EllEss331]

I don't swim freestyle without it. I inhale through the snorkel and exhale through my nose. It feels like I can swim forever with it on.

[@coralpaul]

Love the snorkel..... Never mastered the breathing technique

I've been learning to swim for four months and, having watched your video and others about training with a snorkel, I was delighted to be sent one for free from Amazon Vine. I swam two joyous lengths with it this morning before I was informed I needed to stop using it as they're not allowed at my pool... nor at any, it seems, here where I live in Leeds. Major bummer. I'm wondering where I could go to practise with it...

[@Martin23673]

Weird.. how can they forbid you to use this simple training tool.. are they afraid people might drown? I am about to get a snorkel, too, hope the pool attendants are more relaxed at my pool.

[@ElBeeEss]

@@Martin23673 I even emailed Swim England about it, and got a response from them saying it's a health and safety thing. So, yes, I think they're afraid you drown. Or that the pool attendant might not notice you're drowning. Or maybe even that you'll poke someone in the eye with it. I dunno. But if you live in the UK, Martin, definitely check with your pool rather than spend money on something you can't use.

[@muhammad-kabirolasunkanmia8054]

Very informative video. I’m relatively new to swimming and I’m trying to improve my swimming techniques. I’ve just bought a snorkel but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to use it. I live in London and I’m yet to find a pool that permits its use. Does anyone know where I can go? 😅

[@Dr.Mohamed_Fathy1974]

Very good 👍 good luck ❤❤❤❤

[@niloyfirstrain805]

When you say breathe through the snorkel, should I inhale through my mouth and exhale through my nose?

[@naeemulhaq1426]

Yes otherwise co2 stuck in tube

[@mahsashalileh8601]

So so so usefulĺll thanks , gonnnna try them all today ❤

[@dakiblabla]

Why not clip the nose?

[@fastfoxxx88]

how do you not get water up your nose while you inhale through snorkel? I want to know how to do this without using nose clip

[@tile996]

I bought one, and I can tell you have to behave like you have a cold and your nose if full. To train this outside water you can put your fingers at your nose holes and only breathe with mouth, and if you feel air on your finger you do it wrong

[@volp5502]

Beautiful video, one question, what fins are those? Thank you

[@yolandali2922]

Thanks for your video. I have been using the snorkel for a few times with the nose clip as advised by a swimmer. For the first lap just with the fins and snorkel ,it will be fine. But once I used my arm movement, water will get into my nostril ( even with the nose clip) and I can't breath and have to stop and blow out water from my nostril and mouth. Appreciate any advise from you. Thanks

[@rutudhwajsavaliya_7479]

Hello sir. As your body generates a suction to inhale the atmospheric air the negative pressure is bound to suck the water in through your nose. You can block the suction from acting at 2 main points: 1. At the external nares i.e. by using nasal clips 2. It's pretty easy just go through the steps I mention in sequence. (To understand this you will need some knowledge of anatomy and functions of pharynx in our body, I would suggest you to watch basic anatomy videos on nasopharynx, oropharynx and very importantly something called as PASSAVANT'S RIDGE) You can create a barrier in between the nasopharynx and the oropharynx with the use of your soft palate and your throat so that the negative sucking pressure that your lungs have created don't get transmitted to your nose. To do that put two fingers gently in both the nares and inhale and exhale with your mouth open. you will feel air moving around your fingers. That is what you would want to not feel in order to prevent water entry. For that swallow some saliva and the moment you feel that your PASSAVANT'S RIDGE is in action and there is a barrier between your nasopharynx and oropharynx, you breathe out and in and out and in. At this point you would feel like you are breathing as if you had a bad cold and you should also stop feeling any air around your fingers because there is no pressure transmission to your nose. Practice it a few times and you will get the hold of it.

[@fridanavarro934]

Can I use a nose clip while I using the snorkel?

[@angelamcquillan366]

I gave up on the snorkel because water gets in the tube by rge end of every 50m/y. It annoys me to have to stop every lap. Any advice on what I may be doing wrong? And yes, i am swimming slowly and the snorkel is above the water 😉

[@andreasmichalos]

Is it any different than the classic mask/snorkel we use when swimming at the sea?

[@zauberertca1453]

nope, it's just in the front

[@jorgesantillan6511]

Gracias pot LA explicacion yo tengo muchos problemas con el USO Del snorkel me ahogo me falta el aire

[@VERVIDEOS02]

Hi, do you have a tutorial about how to make a turning bell with snorkel? Thank you

[@shortdogg6346]

I am here in NYC,do you know where I can go to learn how to snorkel

[@davidcampbell1760]

I still can't figure out how to inhale without sucking water up my nose. Perhaps I need a nose clip?

[@PrincessAlexisfuntime]

I tried using a snorkel but I always get water up my noise and into my lungs each time I try to breath through my mouth! I don’t know how anyone can breath through the mouth and not get water into your nose.

[@cy5151]

Use a nose clip it helps a lot

[@yabtoil2001]

Does it wobble?

[@a.m.2206]

Same problem here. I always use a nose clip when using a snorkel.

[@fridanavarro934]

So I need to use nose clip too

How can i build muscles with swimming?

[@fantaztikbeatz]

Swim hard and stay consistent

[@loneranger66888]

Just got one today😂😂❤❤

[@krisna44]

I tried my best could not avoid water getting in to my nose So started using Nose clips

[@jonathanfanning9558]

It amazes me the primal fear of breathing under water induces even amongst great swimmers. It's incredibly humbling for them, almost like starting again, reexperiencing that fear. For instance, how to casually blow air back out of the snorkel without panic. More importantly to purposely do it after a flip turn so training is comfortable and uninterrupted.a

[@lanexang8127]

can you snorkel for non swimmer ?

[@erwini74]

I have a question, is it possible to practice swimming using side mounted snorkel instead of front mounted ones?

[@julianjolts5050]

Yes but I've heard side snorkles might get in the way of your arms

[@na-dk9vm]

Does the centre snorkel increase lung capacity/fitness??

Can you tell me the brand of fins you used in this video?

[@chrisroyer]

What is the brand and model of this snorkel?

[@tracygooyers3702]

He said it's the speedo center snorkle.

[@surjitkalair8371]

Adult beginner…early stages breathing is a bit difficult! 👍

[@johnwitman8171]

I tried, but it was scary

[@johnwitman8171]

Gradually I get used to breath thro a snorkel. The learning does not happen in one session. I have been doing 5min, and better each day

[@fantaztikbeatz]

@John Witman in the beginning its definitely scary but after you get used to it it's awesome!!!

[@lasersailing2000]

Is it normal that you get water in your nose? This is the reason why I use a snorkeling mask instead of swimming goggles. 😅🤔

[@asl2g4u]

I use nose clips

[@fantaztikbeatz]

Yes it's normal but like he said just blow it out. It may take some getting use to but after awhile it becomes second nature

[@tn7707]
