FINIS, Inc. Swimmer’s Snorkel – Yellow

 

The Swimmer’s Snorkel allows swimmers to focus on stroke technique without the interruption of turning the head to breathe. A silicone purge seat allows water to flow out of the snorkel without entering the mouthpiece. The center-mount design accommodates a full range of motion for butterfly, breaststroke and freestyle. Eliminating the need to breathe allows swimmers to relax in the water, maintain body alignment and improve stroke efficiency.

In 1995, John Mix and Pablo Morales developed the first center-mount snorkel specifically designed for competitive swimming. The original idea for the Swimmer’s Snorkel emerged in John’s garage and received immediate validation from renowned coach and ultimate mentor, Nort Thorton. The very first prototypes of the Swimmer’s Snorkel were made of ABS sprinkler tubes and a unique molded head bracket.
