If I can use the snorkle for the first few sprints while I develop my technique, I will be able to enter some events sooner with just a litle confidence that I will exit the water on my own and not two hours after the award ceremony, then I will use it for now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226591101345232081.post-50633876484284893362010-08-13T11:49:17.357-07:002010-08-13T11:49:17.357-07:00..unless you're a beginner who needs a "s.....unless you're a beginner who needs a "safety" device for the swim portion of the race. I'm extremely fit in the other two disciplines. I've never been a swimmer so I am still learning to be proficient. In the meantime I will use a snorkle to feel more comfortable in open waters such as Lake Michigan. In USAT events use of snorkles are legal. Surely an elite swimmer would never use a snorkle. So, I don't think you can say NO snorkles across the board. Limiting it to professionals or those who race as professionals sure but for the common guy you must have safety and comfort in the water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
