After an intensive development period of almost ten years and countless tests with professional athletes AMEO’s PowerBreather is now on the market. This innovative snorkel enables a swimmer to breath freely underwater.
The AMEO PowerBreather offers benefits when optimizing swimming technique or training using the ‘endurance method’, which is especially popular in triathlon. With this innovative snorkel the athlete is able to fully concentrate on their correct motion sequence and posture.
AMEO notes that it’s not only competition swimmers who benefit from this unique piece of sports equipment during training; it also helps beginners by providing a great safe feeling when breathing underwater and enables the swimmer to learn correct technique from the start.
The first swimmers and triathletes that were able to test the AMEO PowerBreather were the open water swimmer and Olympic silver medal winner 2012, Thomas Lurz; and Olympic triathlon champion from Beijing 2008, Jan Frodeno.
“The PowerBreather is an innovative and new training device in order to perform long, nonstop training sessions in the water using the endurance method,” explained Jan Frodeno, who came third at the 2014 IRONMAN Hawaii.
In 2012 the PowerBreather was given the ISPO BRAND NEW AWARD. Since March 2015, the Munich company has been supporting the Deutsche Triathlon Union (DTU), and equips the team of professional triathletes, including Anne Haug and Gregor Buchholz, with the PowerBreather on their way to the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016.
