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.
And I always do! "Cheating" seems like a harsh word. People here even say one is cheating if one wears a legal tech suit.
If you are using less energy with fins, you're not swimming hard or fast enough with them. My AFAP fin sets leave me absolutely exhausted. I think I should get double credit in the GTD for them.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is the use of fins instead of a pull buoy with paddles and a snorkel for lower speed/technique focused pull sets...fantastic use of all the gear!
