Fins

Hi, I need to widen my swim gear inventory. A waterski is about the closest thing to fins I have experience with (id est - never used fins). I feel I can really make use of a pair of them but I haven't a clue as to what type to try first. :help: If it's possible to point me in the right direction, would anyone know what fins to try first? If it helps: Short distance swimmer (order of ability level: free, fly, back, ***) Foot size: 10.5 (very wide) moderate ankle/foot flexibility average flutter kick speed below average SDK speed (but moderate efficiency) Primary uses: to augment fly, various drills, and to spend more time feeling hydrodynamic forces at race pace and faster. Not sure I know what I exactly need but I was thinking of something that will allow me to swim 2 x 50 (at 1 sec faster than race pace) @ 0:90, yet be forgiving enough to assist other uses (i.e. fly sets, drills). :notworthy: Merci Obrigado!

  • I have a wider foot and am looking for a longer fin. Any suggestions out there? I've tried several brands ... Just can't find a wide size. I agree that there are brands with wider feet but they are always short fins. Thanks for anyone's help! I have a wide foot and use the long blade Water Gear fins: www.watergear.com/.../. Don't like zoomers.
