Hi, when I was a kid, I swallowed water while snorkling in my friends pool. It was not a nice experiance. I am now an adult who is going to try snorkling for the first time since. Is there a certain technique used to avoid inhaling water? I know snorkles have the purge valve at the bottom, but does that purge a full snorkle? I tried once after my bad experiance and found myself feeling the top of the snorkle with my hand to see if the tip was out of the water before i would take a breath. It became so distracting that i threw the snorkle onto the shore and continued without it.
