Learn how to use a competitive swimming snorkel from Pelican swim team coaches. Snorkels help to keep body alignment and kick strong and steady during swimming. There is an added cost for those who are purchasing Finis snorkels in-house. If you’d like to provide your own competitive swimming snorkel, please bring to your 1st day of clinics. A competitive swimming snorkel is required to participate in this program.
