It fits perfect, as I explained in my Swim Snorkel review, I have an incredible fear of drowning, so restricting my air intake is likely not the best idea yet. As my confidence grows, I plan to use it to increase my lung power. I will surely give it 5 stars at that time.

Fits firmly over the top of the Finis swimmers snorkel, and closes off about 40% of the snorkel opening. Works fine as I swim several miles per week for exercise and can use the added breathing exertion.
- LWLuke W.ReviewingFINIS Cardio CapI recommend this productRated 3 out of 5 stars3/21/14Good but could be better
It took some serious work to install this onto my snorkel. It didn't slide on as easily as I thought it would. Once it was on, it does provide decent resistance for your breathing but not a significant amount. My first practice with it, I could feel my lungs working but didn't stress them to the point I would prefer.

I'm a big boy and not an Olympic Athlete by any means @ 6"0", 315lbs. I swim 1.5-2 miles 6 days a week. I swim with a Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor. My average heart rate, without a Cardio Cap, went from about 133 BPM down to 115-117 BPM during regular prolonged lap swims. After installing the Cardio Cap on my Finis Snorkel, my heart rate went back up to 128-130 BPM indicating more load/stress due to decreased oxygen flow. After two weeks with the Cardio Cap I now routinely record 115-123 BPM during the same length/time lap swims. I can now swim faster, stronger laps without the use of a snorkel. My heart rate barely rises above 110 BPM and I've shaved almost 5 full seconds off my average lap times when swimming without the Cardio Cap. All of these factors indicate to me that the Cardio Cap has greatly improved my V02 Max and maximal performance in the pool. For a serious athlete training for a triathlon or swim team, I highly recommend this cap.
