Here's a question for you guys. Since I've been back in swimming, I've noticed alot more workouts contiaining the use of fins. When I used to swim in high school, we never used them. So really, what is the advantage of using fins during a work out and why would I want to use them? It seems like everytime I turnaround my workout says to kick with fins, or swim with fins. Any input on that would be much appreciated.
Fins are great for drills. They can increase leg exertition to improve aerobic capacity. They can help with streamlining and technique by letting you swim above race speed. I swim a lot of breaststroke with dolphin kick with fins. This lets me work on my form without straining my knees.
