• Snorkeling is a low impact exercise. While the entire body is working when you swim, snorkeling will not put pressure on your joints.
• Since you are swimming, you are burning calories.
• Your lung capacity is improved when you are underwater since you have to hold your breath for a long time.
• The heart needs to pump more blood to the entire body when you are on water so this promotes cardiovascular fitness.
