I have tried scrubbing them with different mold cleaners and 

cant get rid of it. Anybody else have fins that have this? Any recommendations on a way to get rid of this mold.

Never had this problem.
 Maybe rinse off with tap water and air dry in the open to prevent future  fungi?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Moldy fins</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/207632?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Mar 2020 09:46:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:e32a91c1-3e2e-4bf3-9a26-361f6cf94fc4</guid><dc:creator>Swim_McG</dc:creator><description>Thank you!  My fellow master swimmers have been making fun of me...they say the fins looked diseased:) I might just have to spring for a new pair and dry them off after practice.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Moldy fins</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/207618?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 02 Mar 2020 08:25:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:dbdeb3d4-9750-4012-be5d-e880c223f19b</guid><dc:creator>Windrath</dc:creator><description>Hey,

it is mildew - not mold.  Not much you can do except try bleach and scrub.

Going forward - make sure the fins are dry instead of sitting in your mesh bag and damp all the time.

One of the reasons I don&amp;#39;t use equipment.  :)&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
