I rarely use fins at all, but today I did a fly only set with zoomers because I am struggling with learning proper fly. It really gave me a good feel for the timing, rythm and proper body position. Does anyone else fly with zoomers? If so what percentage?
I was thinking of doing at least one set a week with the zoomers.
Does anyone who has completely mastered fly continue to use fins?
The two reasons I've heard so far are (i) helps with timing and (ii) lets me swim more fly.
I think fins probably mess up my timing in fly.
But, I have 100 reasons to use fins for fly:
1-90 = Shoulders
91 = Old age
92 = Not ever swimming the 200 fly
93 = I like them
94 = I'm still getting a bit faster, even though I use them
95 = I enjoy beating smug purists who diss them
96 = Leg strength
97 = Core Strength
98 = Improves Streamlining
99 = Improves SDKs
100 = Good for shooters (but that's really kicking, not swimming fly)
