I like to swim with fins some days, I have the zoomers and some regular fins. I notice when I swim finless that I feel slow as a snail.If I have been using the fins for a couple of days. I know some swimmers that only use fins as thats the only way they have been able to learn, to them I say great what ever works for exercise but have noted to them that they should at least be able to swim finless to get out of the pool for safety if they fell into water anywhere.

Very tempted to try them...but like pull-bouys..I think they artificially make swimming easier...and if over utilized tend to give one the illusion that they are faster and in better shape than they actually are. For example..When I see this person averaging over 9000 yards a day on the most recent GTD stats...I certainly wonder how much of that is accomplished with fins/artificial(?)...To each their own...I however do not want to kid myself or anyone else.
