Fins

how do you buy fins? how to pick one i mean? do i have to buy shoes with them? do they have to be snug fit?

I've used Zoomers for a couple of years to improve my flutter kick during kicking drills. I try not to use them during regular swimming sets as I find they throw off my timing. They've helped me build up my kick especially in backstroke. I just got a monofin (last Thursday) to improve my butterfly kick; so far I've not seen any improvement, but my abs are sure sore! I figure it will take a few months swimming regular drills with the monofin before I notice results.

If your goal is general swimming leg work then I would recommend the TYR Split-Fin, if you are looking to improve core strength and your dolphin kicks then I would also recommend the Finis Shooter Mono Fin. Paul

Look for fins that are bigger than your feet. :D Skip

I really like the Tritan Positive Drive fins by Better Times. Red Zoomers are also popular.
