Regular snorkel training increases CO2 tolerance and VO2 max, as well as when used together with the cardio cap, provides equivalent benefits associated with altitude training. This patented front-mount design swimmer’s snorkel can be worn with any standard swimming goggle. Using a snorkel forces the lungs to work harder and increases aerobic conditioning. The distance the air has to travel to get to and from the lungs is increased by the length of the snorkel. This forces the swimmer to develop a stronger inhale and exhale while swimming. As the lungs develop, fewer breaths will be needed for each lap, which will reduce times. Because dead air can be trapped in the snorkel, the lungs also learn to buffer CO2 which can greatly assist in hypoxic development. Training with a snorkel can be considered similar to altitude training. The snorkel can be used at all times or for specific sets. As the lungs develop, longer sets will become easier. Completing a flip turn requires the swimmer to exhale through the nose. A nose clip may be necessary in the beginning until the technique is developed. Swimmers with neck, back, or shoulder problems can swim with reduced tension on the injured area because they do not have to turn their head to breathe. Allows beginners to learn stroke and kick techniques before introducing breathing cycle. Product Code: S-105009 Price: R 399.00 Inc VAT Includes FREE Cardio Cap!
