Even the slightest change in breathing can disrupt a swimmer’s body position and rhythm in the water. The A3 Performance Training Snorkel helps swimmers perfect their head-body alignment and improve stroke rotation without interruption.

Designed for speed and efficiency, this hydrodynamic, lightweight snorkel cuts through the water with minimal drag, so you can focus on refining your technique instead of fighting resistance. The narrow tube challenges your breathing, building aerobic capacity over time, and pushing your endurance to new levels.

Why Train with a Snorkel?

Learning to swim with a snorkel can feel awkward at first, but trust us, the payoff is well worth it! Once you get comfortable using a snorkel in your training, you’ll find yourself more balanced, more connected to your stroke, and more aware of how your body moves through the water. And over time, that awareness translates directly into faster, more powerful swimming.

Beginner Snorkel Set

A simple, effective set to help you master alignment, control, and confidence with your snorkel.

8 x 25:  No Interval (Take your time!)

• 2 x 25 Kick on stomach, arms at side: Focus on head position and steady breathing through the snorkel.
• 2 x 25 Kick on stomach, arms extended: Lightly scull or keep arms still. Maintain the same head and body position from the previous 25s.
• 2 x 25 Catch-up drill: Complete one arm stroke at a time, starting and finishing with both arms out front. Focus on rotation through the shoulders and hips while keeping your head still.
• 2 x 25 Build: Gradually increase kick and stroke tempo. Keep your head relaxed, eyes down, and body rotation strong.

6 x 50: No Interval (Take your time!)

Descend two sets of 3 x 50s, swimming the second set faster than the first. These 50s are perfect for getting comfortable with flip turns using the snorkel. Focus on staying relaxed, maintaining a long, straight line through the water, and experimenting with tempo.

Pro Tip: Flip turns with a snorkel take practice. Don’t inhale going into the turn. Use your exhale to clear the tube as you break out. After a few reps, it’ll feel natural!
