Last, but most importantly, is the functionality, material, and fit of the snorkel. First, make sure to get one with a splash guard to prevent any water from entering your kid’s snorkel when their kicks spray water in the air.
Further, a dry valve would be an excellent addition as it allows air in with inhalation but locks below water. It works by floating under the water, consequently blocking the air tube and preventing your little one from accidentally breathing in the water.
Moreover, a purge valve is also a good way to ensure safety during snorkeling as it works on kicking water out of the snorkel. Finally, make sure you get a snorkel with a comfortable mouthpiece to maximize the fun your child gets out of the experience and prevent any strain on their mouths.
