How do you know what fin is right for you?

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

  • If your coach is true about the fin issue, then he must also be against pull buoys. No! Everyone has to keep their pull buoys. I have to be able to rag on people about their pull buoy addiction since I get ragged on for fin addiction. :cool: MFs can be a bit dangerous. I usually just use them solo. SwimmieAvsFan and I were working out the other day with MFs and we did have a little collision. No blood though.
