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?

Perhaps I'm an odd mutant strain then, but I thought I was doing fairly well. Perhaps there are different rules for masters than kiddies?
I never used fins when young. But, then, no one did. It's an adult shoulder-related addiction.
The top flyers I was referring to and whom I know have OT or at the very least Senior cuts. I don't include myself in that group. Some are kids and some are current Div I or ex NCAA Div I masters who had OT cuts. No fins noted. My sample *pool* includes masters and kiddies alike over several different pools and clubs in GA. Just reporting on what I witness personally in practices. I tend to focus on what the fastest people in the pool are doing or not doing.
I certainly don't doubt the awesome success you've had with fins and your training! :bow:
