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.
The majority of swimming should be without fins. Long fins are great for simulating speed to fine tune your hydrodynamic form at speed. Sometimes I use them in kick sets to burn up the legs, or slow swimming for recovery so I don't drown after a tough set. Plus fins are fun. I put paddles and fins on the other day and went under 15 sec for a 100ft, or a sub 44 yard pace. the way it felt, I just can't believe that there are those that go way under that without fins and paddles!!!!!!!!!!!!
