SWIMMING

BREATHING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE WATER

Only inhale with the

POWERBREATHER if the valve

system of the D-TUBE is completely

above the surface of the water.

You can gradually increase the

intensity of the swimming training.

Have fun!

At first you may be aware

of a slight resistance via the

membrane as you breathe

in. That is normal, and the

feeling goes away by itself

over time.

The mouth piece can be

easily turned upward in the

direction of the nose as nee-

ded, such as during breaks,

in order to be able to speak.

The entire POWERBREA-

THER does not need to be

taken off for

this.

FLIP TURN

THIS IS HOW TO COMPLETE THE TURN

You should master this fully before you first attempt a flip turn

with the POWERBREATHER. For this reason, first practice the

flip turn several times without the POWERBREATHER. When

performing flip turns with the POWERBREATHER, exhale

primarily through the mouth. Never actively exhale when you

are positioned on your side or back. The following instructions

are only intended for those with practice!

1. First, clip the two FLIP CAPS onto

the SPEED VENTS on both sides

(fig 1). If your POWERBREATHER

edition does not include Flip Caps,

they can be ordered as extra acces-

sories at powerbreather.com.

2. As always, you should take a deep

breath before you start the flip turn.

3. Throughout the entire turning

movement, you should only allow

a part of the air to flow out, primarily

through your mouth. Never actively

exhale when you are positioned on

Some swimmers turn strongly to one side. The

BLIND CAP (fig. 3) has been developed with

them in mind. This is mounted instead of the

two FLIP CAPS (fig. 4), on the side that points

down during the flip turn (in other words, the

side on which you turn). The other valve sys-

tem remains open. The BLIND CAP can also

be individually ordered as an accessory.

your side or back.

4. Only breathe the remaining air out

once you are again in the face-down

position. This ensures that the mois-

ture from breathing, and occasional

water, cannot be discharged into the

D-TUBES (fig. 2).

No powerful exhaling is

necessary with the POWER-

BREATHER, as some swimmers

are familiar with from flip turns

using a snorkel. Very little water

enters the system during a flip

turn, and therefore no powerful

exhaling is necessary. In

addition, it would have a coun-

teractive effect on the innovative

valve system.
