Hypoxic Snorkel
Better breath control under fatigue. Cleaner technique. More efficient triathlon swimming.
The slim build makes breathing slightly harder by design—so you can train CO2 tolerance while keeping your head still and your line clean.
- Stay calm when it gets hardBuild breath control when fatigue hits.
- Hold a better body lineHead still, hips up, less wasted movement.
- Swim more efficient for triathlonForm that holds, even when your pace lifts.
- One size fits allAdjustable head strap for a secure fit.
What does “hypoxic snorkel” actually mean?
In practical training terms, “hypoxic” simply means learning to stay relaxed and efficient as breathing becomes more noticeable.
Most swimmers don’t lose speed because they’re unfit — they lose it because breathing stress causes head movement, tension, and poor body position.
A snorkel removes the need to turn your head to breathe, allowing you to lock in alignment, head position, and a cleaner stroke. This snorkel’s slim profile adds a gentle, controlled breathing demand compared to a standard snorkel — enough to improve awareness and control, without ever feeling extreme or uncomfortable.
Think of it as a technique tool first, with a small breath-control benefit layered in.

Does it make breathing difficult?
No — it’s not designed to restrict air aggressively or make sessions uncomfortable.
The slim build simply creates a slightly more noticeable breathing feel than a bulky snorkel,
which helps swimmers learn to stay calm and controlled as effort increases.
You should never feel panicked or starved of air. If that happens, the pace or set is simply too hard. Used correctly, the snorkel encourages smoother exhales, steadier rhythm, and less tension — exactly what breaks down late in hard swims.
Start easy, stay relaxed, and let the benefit build naturally.

Who is this snorkel best for?
This snorkel is ideal for swimmers and triathletes who want technique that holds together under fatigue.
It’s especially useful if your form looks good early, then slowly unravels as breathing becomes less controlled.
It’s a great fit if you:
It’s not about suffering — it’s about swimming better, for longer.
It’s a great fit if you:
- Want a steadier, calmer breathing rhythm
- Struggle to keep your head still when tired
- Need better swim efficiency for triathlon
- Prefer tools that reinforce good habits rather than force change

Will it fit me?
Yes. It’s one size fits all with an adjustable head strap designed to suit a wide range of head shapes and sizes.
The key is a stable, comfortable fit — not tightness. Once adjusted correctly, the snorkel stays centred and secure without creating pressure points or discomfort.

How should I use it in training?
Use it when the goal is high-quality strokes and controlled breathing.
It works best in technique work, aerobic swimming, and moderate efforts where form matters.
Effective uses include:
A simple rule: if technique stays clean and breathing feels controlled, you’re using it correctly.
Effective uses include:
- Steady aerobic sets focusing on alignment and relaxed breathing
- Short controlled repeats to reinforce calm rhythm
- Triathlon-specific sets where efficiency matters more than speed
