I am a 67 year old male who has enjoyed swimming freestyle for years as method of exercise to keep fit.
I recently was advised that due to severe osteoarthritis in both my shoulders that I stop that swimming.
I was thinking of using those short stubby fins in the pool to propel myself with my quads in order to get a decent workout without having to rely too much on my upper body.
Was wondering if anyone can provide me with feedback on this situation.
Thanks ,

I have used and like the Aqua jogger. I can't do more than a few laps because I'm not used to it yet, but as someone who's also going through pt for a shoulder injury, it's been a good way for me to at least get in the water. Here's the website, and fyi, you can add shoes and hand weights for a more aerobic workout: http://www.aquajogger.com/.
