WHAT ARE SWIM FINS FOR?
A fin is a piece of swimming training equipment to work the lower body.
Swim fins are ideal for swimming faster, for longer. You can simultaneously work on your heart rate and lower-body strength training (thighs, glutes, calves, core stability).
FIN LENGTH
SHORT FINS
"Short blade" fins ensure a good kicking frequency and get your heart pumping. Motion is very close to the "natural" movement.
FOOTWEAR
OPEN HEEL
Fin foot pockets hold the foot in place when kicking (important for an efficient kick). As such, you should take the time to try on your fins before buying. You need to check that the foot fits well in the foot pocket and the uncovered area (to prevent water from entering). It is important to choose the right size.
There are 2 types of foot pockets: open heel and full foot.
