Hey everyone I started swimming this Sept. I bought a pair of Kiefer silicone training fins and I think I like them ( they are very comfortable). Most of the people at the pool I swim with are using the speedo optimus training fins. So what ones are better? Or does it matter? I have trouble with just plain old kicking so I thought the shorter ones might help me as I would still have to do some work. I am confused. Can someone help me? Katie

    Thanks everyone It is so interesting to hear what everyone likes to use as training fins. I guess the bottom line is you use what is best for you. One thing about the keifer training fins ( other than mine are bright yellow :lmao:) is they are very comfortable. I need help with my kich as I am much stronger in the top half of my body so I thought ( not sure if it is true) but the shorter ones would help my kick better. Anyway I love hearing about peoples different training techniques and equipment. Cheers. NO swimming today but I get to be the parent volunteer at my daughters touch football game. It is pouring so I can pretend I am at the pool. Katie
