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 definitely feel more confident in my fly using fins and feel like I can get the rhythm down more. I don't really like using fins on free style though, it messes with my rhythm and my breathing, granted it is fun to go fast but I feel like it hurts my stroke. There is too much propulsion from my kick that my arms feel like they are just flailing in the water not contributing. If you don't know how to do fly I would suggest using fins to get your techniques down and get a feel for the stroke. It will also help build your muscles for the stroke.
