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?

  • 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 made it through my 10 x 75 fly set today too! :) Wow, nice fly set. Should give you plenty of confidence for a 100 fly race. My ankles hurt just reading about monofins. I think any fins that are big enough to really stress legs/core will be too much for my ankles. I'll have to continue to count on dryland work for core/legs power and non-fin SDK work to work on endurance and lactate tolerance.
