Hi! I've been swimming with the masters at my YMCA since September. I just did my first swim meet Saturday in Boston. What a blast!!!!
Anyways-most people on my team swim or do their kick sets with zoomers. I've used the longer fins and I get horrible blisters across my big toe. A friend just got the hydros and loves them. I'd like to get something to do some of my kick sets in, and found a good price on hydros tech 2 fins. They are softer so maybe lee prone to give me blisters?
So if you've used any of these fins and could if you love or hate them and why?
Thank you!!! Crystal

I didn't vote because I had to choose a set of new fins earlier this year and had considered the zoomers and Hydro 2 fins-- and decided against both.
I had used longer fins and loved going fast, but didn't get enough of a leg workout so I new I wanted shorter fins. A couple of people at my pool use zoomers and I got a look at them, but they seemed too rigid and hard. The Hydros sounded appealing because I used to get blisters with my old fins and the material is a softer silicone, but the price was a deterrent.
I ended up with the TYR crosstrainer and have not regretted my choice once. Got them a bit tight and still have not had a blister once. I wear them for all my kick sets and I have noticed that I get more out of my legs for my breaststroke than I did before I started using them.
