Hi there, I am beginning a novice training program (600 m) and I have my kick board. What is better? kicking with flippers or without? and could someone please explain the difference with advantanges / disadvantages to me. Thanks in advance

  • I don't know but have been wondering about this topic recently myself. I have a crappy kick (maybe 2:20-2:30 for 100 flutter kick, no board). I have a pair of zoomers which I like. I typically use them during the kick segment of warmups or if I'm doing long swim/kick/pull sets (e.g. repeat 400SKP). I may or may not use them later in the practice depending how the individual segments break down. I notice that in Ande Rasmussen's blog/thread he says to dump the fins. Skip
