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.

Fins have saved me. I am back in the water after being out for 18 months and I got myself a pair and I'm so glad I did. I remember Fort's comments on how fins have been helpful and that gave me the confidence to use them.
My right shoulder is buggy and has given me trouble since I first got back in the pool after a 20+ year hiatus. If it were not for the fins, I'd not be in the pool nearly as often. I love them for sets of 50s and 100s. And believe me I pant hard!
They help me feel like I did when I was competing. I use them a lot in practice and right now I am not competing so I will use them as much as I feel like I am getting benefit. I notice my legs really feel it too, which is not something I feel when I don't use them.
I heart fins! :bliss:
