can anyone tell me the benefit of using swim fins? i'm beginning to start my training for olympic distance triathlons. any training program assistance would be helpful.

They let you swim faster which allows you to get a better feel for where you are experiencing resistance. Anytime you can figure out how to shed even a small amount of resistance, you also decrease the amount of energy (and hence the amount of metabolic conditioning) necessary to swim at any given speed.
