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.
Whoops, my apology, guess I put my foot in it there. :blush:
I guess I really only have an issue with one particular fin user. She used to glare ferociously at me when I passed her for the fourth time in 20 minutes (and believe me, I'm not at all fast), now gives me a smug look as she passes me in her humungous scuba fins. I guess it gives me something to work for ... I'm starting to catch up. :laugh2: I can't wait to see what she comes up with when I start lapping her again. A small outboard motor perhaps?
