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 ,

Sorry to hear that, however, I swam through the pain on a non-swimming injury and was told I did the right thing.
Recently I attended a USMS Coach's Clinic in our LMSC area. One of the speakers was Mr. Jeremy Vail of UCLA. He provided us a generous amount of great information on recovery and injuries. Just a suggestion to seek out someone like Mr. Vail in your area for some extra advice.

Good Luck.
