Again, I'm not that familier with the SF course, but forget the snorkel. This makes it a lot easier to breath. A mask with no snorkel when swimming side stroke, (underwater recovery) takes some getting used to. For one thing, water funnels it's way to your mouth with a mask on, and you can't breath through your nose.

Once you get nice and comfy with the pool, take your comfort to the ocean. It's a whole new experience.
