Snorkels are one of the best training aids\/swim tools you can use to help improve your various swimming styles and keep your form consistent.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

From your front crawl balance, rotation, technique and overall efficiency, being able to adjust the focus from your breathing to purely your movement can boost your overall performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you struggle with breathing in the water, then these will also put that issue aside so you can focus on form and complete longer sets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ollie Willis tests four options in our round-up of the best snorkels for lap swimming below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the purpose of a swim snorkel?<\/h2>\n

A swimming snorkel basically helps you stay in the water for longer and takes the pressure off your breathing. In the process this will help you build all the necessary skills, muscle memory and endurance needed to beat your personal best.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it good to swim laps with a snorkel?<\/h2>\n

Laps are especially suited to snorkel swimming as you don\u2019t need to pause to take a breather. This means you can mentally prepare yourself for an intense workout session.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the snorkel tends to sit in the centre of your head as well, this means your technique should stay balanced without veering to your dominant side, which will help long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n
