Are these items below any good? I've been swimming for about a year. Freestyle only...can't really do flip turns yet. www.swimoutlet.com/ProductDetails.asp www.swimoutlet.com/ProductDetails.asp www.swimoutlet.com/ProductDetails.asp I picked out the Finis paddles due to them focusing on freestyle and not adding resistance (i have gloves for that) so that I can focus on stroke skill...not muscle building I picked out the TYR Burner flippers due to them being short and floatish so that they help with stroke and increase ankle build. I picked out the Hydro Hips to help focus on on the rotation because I think I suck at it. What do you think? Is the above just garbage?

  • This happens to me too! I have gone through at least 3 pairs of Speedo Optima. My first pair didn't do this at all (unfortunately, someone accidentally ran off with that pair). I wonder if they are manufacturing them differently. I also have the Speedo (Tialon) fins that are less than a year old and splitting. I wondered if I got them too small. I will have to replace them soon and yet my last pair lasted 10 years.
