WHAT ARE SWIM FINS FOR?
A fin are a piece of swimming training equipment to work the lower body. You can simultaneously work on your heart rate and lower-body strength training (thighs, glutes, calves, core stability).

SHORT blade guarantees a good kick frequency and a good cardio workout. Movements are very close to “natural” swimming movements.
The LONG blade guarantees a more sweeping kick and a stronger muscle workout.
FIN STIFFNESS
VERY FLEXIBLE FINS
Stiffness is characterised by the density of the material. As such, the stiffer a blade is, the greater muscular exertion will be. The more flexible a blade is, the more efficient and sweeping the kick will be. How hard you kick will depend on the type of workout you want to achieve (cardiovascular or muscle).
FOOTWEAR
Fin foot pockets hold the foot in place when kicking (important for an efficient kick).
The OPEN foot pocket means the ankle can move more freely
The CLOSED foot pocket supports the foot in its natural position
