FINIS Snorkel Dry Top

It is perfect to keep water out, but if you swim in the sea and there are waives, it blocks your breathing often and it is difficult to swim with

Este tapón para el snorkel me ha ayudado muchísimo en mi trabajo en el agua. Al principio, al ser principiante, tenia que parar cada dos por tres porque no se como lo hacía, pero acababa entrándome agua. Gracias al tapón se terminó el problema y puedo hacer ejercicio de forma más continuada durante más tiempo.

bueno para cuando ya se tiene una preparación al momento de entrenar y se quiere evitar que el agua entre al snorkel, se puede usar para ir a snorkelear y evitar el agua salada.

This is an interesting product, but has drawbacks. The valve is floatation-based and as a result tends to open during tilted operation. It should be pressure-based. There should be a spring to hold it open with slight force. In the current configuration, when the head turns from side to side during freestyle swimming, centrifugal force often throws it shut. The seal also leaks slightly. If the length is increased, the float made longer to increase buoyancy, and a weak spring added in to hold it open, it would probably improve.

I bought this for my Finis Snorkel, and first I must say to install it(it does say this in its instructions) Place both the top and snorkel end in some hot water for a bit...it softens them both so that you can slide them together. It works...very well...surface dives only to return to the surface with a dry snorkel. Be warned that as the snorkle is exeptionaly long, adding this does cause slight breathing resistance. I think its worth it though and as many folks use this for lap swim, its kinda nice to have the resistance.

Having returned to swimming I was struggling with neck pain and so decided to look for a swimming snorkel. I can say this has not only helped alleviate the pain but has also allowed me to swim longer by allowing you to concentrate just on your swimming. I also purchased a extension which ensures the snorkel does t go below the water line, however it has a very clever valve whereby you can blow out any water. Lastly I would recommend a nose clip as I have found using this without possible, but does cause some pressure on your nose.
