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 don't get them either (using fins). Yes, it makes the workout go quicker and they do propell me while doing fly, but doesn't that develop bad habits? Isn't it like practicing the high jump from a tampoline.
