There is this pentathlon meet at Cal Tech in Pasadena March 2006 andI want to use this meet as a primer for my season leading up to FINA at Stanford. I saw someone using a monofin and it looked so fun. It looked like you could butterfly and concentrate on technique for a longer period of time. Are they worth the $100 in regards to training. I don't use fins of any kind but these look fun for kick sets. Personal reviews?

    It helped me a lot with butterfly kick but I used it in open water. It is a good core strength builder too. Yes its a toy, it goes fast you go fast, its fun. Need to really work your dolphin kick or your streamline, then you ahve a reason. They are a bit pricey and the all plastic ones don't seem to work.
