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?

  • I use blue zoomers when I use fins in a workout. I don't use them very often but they will help me get through a long fly set. As far as doing IM's with fins, just do *** with a dolphin kick. Seems a mix of opinions on their use. Of course for IM sets, fins are no good because of ***. But fly only sets they seem like a good idea. Perhaps as long as on average, you spend at least as much time with the fins off. Please quantify the type of fins. I was specific about using zoomers. Is that what everyone else is talking about? I think long fins will make the stroke too different from real fly. I really dont see a place for long fins as they almost destroy my ankles. I might cut my red zoomers down just a bit more so it is closer to no fins at all. Has anyone tried that?
