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 read someplace that kicking backstroke with fins will help with hamstrings strength, and so that is another reason that I tend to do most of my kicking backstroke. My hamstrings are definitely out of balance from running, so anything I can do to put things back in balance is good. As for fins having no place in competitive swimming - I'm not competitive!:rofl:
