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 think it can be helpful to do some kicking with fins and some without. The nice thing about using fins as a novice is that they can help you with your ankle flexibility and can reinforce good kicking technique (you can feel the difference between nice, fluid, relaxed from the hips kicking and stiff from the knees down kicking a lot with fins). But I would also do some of your kicking and swimming without fins so that you don't become dependent on them.
