fly with fins a good idea?

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?

  • Still not sure that fins help my SDK or leg/core strength more than swimming without them but there is more than one way to skin a cat. Do you think you've used them enough to really tell though? Monofins are better for core/leg strength than regular fins anyway. And I agree that you should SDK without fins as well. In fact, I don't usually kick with fins unless I'm using my monofin. I will say that, despite never doing lower body weights, I tried the leg press for sheets and goggles back in July and did almost 3x my weight. I made it through my 10 x 75 fly set today too! :)
