Sailfish Center Snorkel

A center snorkel is an effective tool for swimming training, whether you are a beginner, recreational swimmer or an elite swimmer. The special design – where the snorkel goes up from the middle of the forehead instead of from the side – allows you to breathe calmly while keeping your head in a neutral position. This eliminates the need to turn your head while breathing, making it easier to focus on technique, body position and arm movement. Center snorkels from brands such as TYR, Arena, Sailfish and Speedo are designed with a focus on stability, comfort and minimal water resistance. It is especially popular training tool among triathletes and technique-focused swimmers who want to improve their efficiency in the water.

One of the biggest benefits of a center snorkel is that it allows you to isolate and improve specific technical aspects of your swimming. When you don't have to think about breathing, you can fully concentrate on optimizing your balance, rotation and arm stroke. This is especially beneficial for breaststroke and crawl techniques, where incorrect head movement can easily disrupt the rhythm and create unnecessary resistance. The center snorkel also helps strengthen your core muscles because it forces you to stabilize your body without using head rotation as an aid. Many swimmers use the center snorkel in conjunction with other tools such as pull buoys or hand plates to further refine their technique.

When choosing a center snorkel, you should look for comfort, fit and stability. A good snorkel should sit comfortably over your forehead without pressing too hard and have a soft, tight mouthpiece that does not irritate your teeth or jaw. Adjustable straps and a flexible design make it easier to get it to fit, even if you are wearing swimming goggles at the same time. Some snorkels also have a valve or the ability to adjust air resistance, which can make breathing more challenging and act as breathing training. All of our center snorkels from TYR, Arena, Sailfish and Speedo are carefully selected to withstand regular use in chlorinated water and give swimmers of all levels the best conditions to improve their technique. With the right center snorkel, your training will be more focused, efficient and targeted – and you will quickly notice a difference in your swimming.
