FAQs
Is this snorkel suitable for competitive training?
Yes, it is designed to improve technique and efficiency, making it beneficial for training sessions focused on body position and stroke mechanics.
How do I clean the snorkel?
Rinse the snorkel with fresh water after each use and allow it to air dry completely. The mouthpiece can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
Will this help my child learn to swim?
While it aids in improving technique for those already swimming, it is not a learn-to-swim device. It's best used by swimmers who have basic water competency.
What is the one-way purge valve for?
The one-way purge valve allows water that may enter the tube to be expelled efficiently during exhalation, keeping the airway clear.
Can adults use this junior snorkel?
This specific model is sized for juniors. An adult version is available separately.
How does this improve swimming performance?
It improves performance by allowing swimmers to maintain a streamlined head position, reduce resistance, and focus on developing a more efficient stroke without the interruption of turning to breathe.
What standards does this snorkel meet?
This snorkel is designed to BS EN 1972:2015 CLASS B standards.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the snorkel tube
Ensure the mouthpiece is sealed properly in the mouth. Check that the purge valve is functioning correctly and clear of debris. During turns or dives, cup hand over the top of the tube.
Snorkel feels uncomfortable or loose
Readjust the head strap for a more secure fit. Ensure the head strap is positioned correctly and not twisted.
Difficulty breathing through the snorkel
Confirm the snorkel tube is not blocked. Practice breathing exercises with the snorkel on land. Ensure the head is positioned correctly in the water to avoid submerging the tube opening.
Mouthpiece is difficult to keep in place
Try a slightly tighter fit on the head strap. Ensure the mouthpiece is inserted correctly and a consistent seal is maintained through relaxed jaw pressure.
