One day this week during a repeat set, my best time for one of the 100's was 1:08 with fins (short course yards). I am in the 40-44 age group female. I have been swimming for about 6 months (before that was high school many years ago). Is anyone else out there this slow or am I the only one of you that isn't a former high school elite swimmer. So many of you have fast times-I'm impressed!
Sounds fishy to me, doing a set with fins. Why not strap an outboard to your back and get your time?
What is accomplished by doing this much swimming with fins? Is it the sense of speed that you are looking for?
I've swam with a bunch of coaches, most don't use fins. The ones that do don't subject us to 1600 straight yards of kick ruining fin sets.
