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!
Thanks so much Anna and magick for your responses! No Z2s for me then, which narrowed it down to yellow Zoomers or Burners. I've decided to give the Burners a shot, and if they don't work then I'll exchange for the yellow zoomers and be done with it. I don't know why Finis doesn't make the new original zoomers in a least a few color choices.....I'm sure they would sell like hotcakes!!! Although the bigger question might be, why am I so adverse to yellow fins? haha. :dunno: I hope the green Burners work out!
