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?

Alison:
Do you mean, kicked under 1 min with fins on? How much did you cut off each time?
Bill
Yes, under a 1 min with the fins on (I'm not a fast kicker). When I hit the under 1 min mark, I'd cut off about an inch. After cutting off several inches, I bought the zoomers.
Our coach rarely allows fins as well. And since I'm paying him dearly to train me well, if he says no fins, it's no fins. Right now we're working on doing 5x100 kick, no fins under 1:30. Ack.
