First Steps With Your Powerbreather
Take the Powerbreather and familiarize yourself with it. Put everything together as described in the instructions.
The Powerbreather adopts perfectly to the shape of your head. Take it and do dry runs, get comfortable for the next steps.
Try your first steps in the water. Watch out and try to be in a safe environment, maximum shoulder-deep water.
Now try to get under the surface. Keep in mind that the ends of the D-Tubes should alway remain above the water.
Inhaling and exhaling must work smooth before starting swimming or snorkeling. Be careful and take care.
If further details are needed, please take a look in the instructions, included with the Powerbreather Wave.
The patented FRESH AIR SYSTEM makes the Powerbreather unique. In contrast to conventional snorkels, you breathe in and out through two completely separate channels. This ensures that only fresh, oxygen-rich air flows into your lungs. At the same time, the innovative valve technology prevents water from entering the system.
The perfect combination to give you more freedom & water safety.
According to surveys by the DLRG, one in four adults in Germany cannot swim. Tools such as Restubes or Powerbreather cannot replace swimming aids but might help to overcome fear being in water.

Answers to the most common questions
The Powerbreather is the next generation snorkel! With him you will experience swimming and snorkeling in a new way.
For the first time, the Powerbreather always supplies you with 100% fresh air through the two air channels - no matter how long and how intensively you swim or snorkel.
As with a conventional snorkel, you breathe in and out through your mouth using the mouthpiece.
Before you start swimming, try it out briefly on land:
More information also in the Manual.
The Powerbreather has two parallel air tubes (D-TUBES) running on the head, which - if they are always above the water surface - guarantee sufficient fresh air when inhaling.
Exhale through the mouth into the water. We call it the FRESH AIR SYSTEM.
For this reason, the Powerbreather cannot be compared to a classic snorkel, because inhalation and exhalation do not take place via the same system.
This means that there is no pendulum breathing (including unwanted CO2 accumulation, loss of performance).
Due to the valve technology of the FRESH AIR SYSTEM, no water gets into the breathing system. With each exhalation, saliva and moisture are automatically discharged through the mouthpiece into the water.
It can happen that the Speed Vents, the attachments on the Powerbreather, are 'leaky'. You know this when you hear a sound when you breathe and it's difficult to breathe.
You can check this by pulling off the speed vents and looking in from below. If light comes in from the side it means they are 'leaking'. Take a picture inside the Speed Vents and send it info@powerbreather.com to with your address. Powerbreather.com will replace your defective Speed Vents.
No, the Powerbreather is not a diving device!
You can only breathe with the Powerbreather when the valve caps (SPEED VENTS) at the end of the D-TUBES (air tubes) are above the water surface.
When the SPEED VENTS are underwater, water will enter the D-TUBES during active inhalation.
The TWIST LOCK SYSTEM (locking system) ensuresthat the Powerbreather can be optimally adjusted to any head size.
The D-TUBES (air tubes) are adjustable up to a head width of 17,5 cm. The tubes should not be pulled apart more than 17,5 cm, otherwise the EASY FIT AIR JUNCTION (mouthpiece) could be damaged.
Experience shows that the Powerbreather can easily be adapted to the individual head size of young people and also to children from the age of 7 upwards.
Children should be able to swim well and only use the Powerbreather under the supervision of their parents.
No, there is only one version of the Powerbreather.
The Powerbreather can be individually adjusted so that it is suitable for children and young people from around 7 years of age. The mouthpiece is interchangeable. This means that everyone can freely choose their preferred mouthpiece.
Children should be able to swim well and only use the Powerbreather under the supervision of their parents.
If the Powerbreather gets sandy, simply rinse it carefully under clear water.
To do this, remove the valve caps at the end of the D-TUBES (air tubes). The now open D-TUBES should also be rinsed through.
Then let everything dry well. Details on this are also the Manual refer to.
Rinse your Powerbreather with fresh water after each use and then let it dry.
Simply remove the valve attachments (SPEED VENTS) at the upper end of the D-TUBES (air tubes). Details on this are also the Manual refer to.

Competitive Swimming
The Powerbreather might improve crawl swimming and make it much more efficient, less strenuous and faster - Especially competitive swimmers in particular benefit from a more relaxed and at the same time faster exit from the water, as they still have to compete in other sub-disciplines

The innovative system is the ideal aid for a complex movement such as freestyle swimming, which is technically demanding. The head no longer has to be turned to breathe, so the swimmer has a stable position in the water and can initially concentrate on learning and optimizing arm and leg movements
Health & Rehabilitation
Freestyle swimming is considered the healthiest style. It is often not recommended by doctors because most of the people don't know how to use it properly. That changes with the Powerbreather
