Fins do have a place in training, but anyone who thinks he/she is really swimming when doing every single meter in them is dreaming.
True, everyone and all their relatives seems to hate fin "addicts." I don't begrudge people training with equipment. Or not. Everyone is different -- different ages, different race distances, different body physiques, different strokes, different physical issues. What works for some, does not for others. Last time I checked, however, I didn't think I was some middle aged swimmer dreaming or whistling dixie. :mooning: :thhbbb: Could be wrong though. Willing to listen to the pull buoy/paddle users. And acknowledge many people don't use fins at all. To each his own.
