Am seeing more sprint workouts using monofins and am wondering if the benefit is worth the $ investment. I have zero experience with a monofin - is there really a difference between using monofin and just regular fins? What are some typical training scenarios where you'd use a monofin instead? Anyone with personal experience for/against a monofin feel free to comment. Thanks!
Small suggestion to try an ankle strap before you buy the monofin. I put on an ankle strap and do my dolphin kicks and underwater streamline kicks too, while wearing my zoomers. It does not replace a monofin, but its a reasonable alternative. I get a pretty good workout with my legs doing this.
