If you want to snorkel, you should be a pretty good swimmer. o:

If it's a lagoon area, it will be easy. But you don't wanna be a weak swimmer and be in waves, currents, and a ways away from the shore.

Open and close your legs like a scissor. Keep up a steady rhythm. Now cup your hands downward and move them in a figure eight motion... Never play around water alone.
