WHAT'S A SWIMMING FIN FOR?
A swim fin is a piece of swimming training equipment for working the lower body.
The swim fin is ideal for swimming faster and longer. You'll simultaneously work your heart rate and strengthen your lower-body muscles (thighs, buttocks, calves, sheathing).
FIN LENGTH
SHORT-FINNED FLIES
Short-finned fins guarantee a good stroke frequency and a higher heart rate. Movement very close to "natural" movement.
SHOES
OPEN FLIP SHOES
Flipper shoes ensure that the foot is supported when kicking (important for effective kicking). So take the time to try your fins before you buy. Check that the foot fits snugly and that there are few uncovered areas (to avoid water ingress). The choice of size is also important.
There are 2 types of shoe: closed and open.
