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

This may be really stupid logic, but I use my fins for kicking when I have a time constraint to my workout. I'll want to get some kicking in, but I don't want to waste too much of my 1 hour lap swim time. I slap on the fins and do some really hard kick sets (usually backstroke) and then get back to the normal routine. One thing that I notice about wearing fins is that I don't push off the wall the same, and I don't like that at all. I've been trying to improve my turns, so I've been trying to put a lot of emphasis on the getting on/off the wall in a timely manner.
