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?

that's just like at school when the good kids wouldn't pick you for teams in gym.
You never got picked I bet - let it out, it's ok.
As to fins, I personally see no value in them, any style, any configuration. I've been on a lot of USMS teams and without exception the more talented swimmers/lanes are devoid of them. I'm a rotten kicker and used fins to keep up (as many do) and was just as rotten after using fins for a while as I was pre-fin. Save the money and work on kicking more.
