Description: Although originally intended for use in the sea, often used for pool swimming as a swim aid especially by those with neck or back problems for whom the "head down" attitude in the water is beneficial. These masks are also useful for those who may have problems breathing naturally while swimming. Looking at the snorkel the central intake channel is clear however the two outer channels exhibit the condensation from the user's exhaled breath. It must be emphasised that swimming with a snorkel mask is completely different from using a conventional mask and snorkel as there is nothing in the mouth and the nose is completely open.
