Which swim toys, if any, are you currently using at least semi-regularly. Feel free to elaborate on why and when you use them! You can make as many choices as you like.
I forget to add breaststroke fins. You can just note if you are. I have just started kicking once in awhile with them. I aspire to learn the snorkle, but haven't gotten around to that yet. I also can't keep my nose clip on. Hoping to get the hang of it this winter to avoid sinus infections.
I use toys for a specific purpose, then move on.
We have a few who use fins or a pull buoy for a whole practice and it can be disruptive, especially as the rest of us fatigue.
My pull buoy is my friend, as I love to pull, but I am experimenting with using my paddles less often. Same goes for the fins. My kick has gotten better, so I'm doing more without fins, but when the rest of the lane slips them on, it's hard to avoid getting run over, so out they come. I have ditched the kickboard though. Kicking on the back (fly, ***, and flutter) does double duty as an ab workout.
What are alpha zura fins?
Don't pull buoys keep your hips and/or feet up just like fins? (I don't know, I don't use pull buoys.) I was just wondering.
I like my fins, but I rarely use them to kick. Well, except for SDKs with the MF.
Here's a pic of the alpha zura fins. They're very light and flexible. Karlyn Pipes-Nielson brought a ton to zones last year. They look like they might be easier to wear for people with knee or ankle issues maybe?
