I hope I'm not opening a can of worms. I just started my first masters swim ever and while it was alot of fun, it is probably kind of hard for a beginner to be swimming 1600-2500meters all of a sudden.
As I'm slowly reading through the threads here, I'm a bit tempted to get a pair of flippers to help me train.
However, I'm very worry that I'm going to be addicted to them, if they make me swim fast with less effort and keep up with my teamates. What if one day i have to part with them and i just don't go as fast?
Would you or would you not use a flippers in this sitaution during masters swim?
Keep in mind that I'm the slowest thing in my team but I am going to stick with it either way. :)

I used zoomers initially. They helped me to be able to do the full workout at speeds somewhat closer to my teammates. But as my fitness and speed improved, I've managed to cut back on their use.
