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.
I totally agree with Fort, Ann & Tim -- thanks to fins, I was able to baby myself through a rotator cuff tear - took 2 years, but no surgery. Also, thanks to zoomers, I was able to get my fly rhythm back - not so with fins, as they can really distort & make you think you've got something going on when you don't! But the zoomers have helped & my stroke (w/out the zoomers) has vastly improved because of the zoomers. Besides, they are fun! and really break up the workout, especially when you're bored and swimming solo!
