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.

  • I used fins for kicking sets and also drills, I don't tend to use them for actual swimming although I know the reasoning is so you can swim butterfly longer without falling apart. I think the kicking with the fins really works out my leg muscles and my heart POUNDS! It's a good training tool.
