No fins but I did cheat a little maybe more then a little. Our pool had a three foot ledge separating the deep end from the shallow end. 5' deep on the shallow side , 9 ' on the other side. When I pushed off from the end of the pool I would grab the ledge and get an extra push off with my feet, 2 push offs for every 25 yards.
There was another swimmer from our club, Ted StAubin (held the Canadian record for breaststroke) who equalled the distance, I don't know if he cheated or not. I still had a headache after the underwater swim.
