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 think they're ok if used sparingly.
1. To improve the finesse of your stroke or stroke and feeling in the water
2. To extend the distance you swim that you would not be able to swim w/o fins (i.e. you swam x,xxx yards and are exhausted but want to keep going)
I agree with someone above, distance swam with fins should not be counted in your total yardage.
