I am a beginning swimmer, are training fins a good thing?

  • I agree. With zoomers, especially, I get a lot more tired. It may be that I am not that used to kicking, and when you have the zoomers on, even if you try to kick half-heartedly, it's really tiring. I don't get knee pain, but I do get a bit of back and hip pain sometimes, especially if I kick hard with zoomers after not having used them for a long time. Most of your teammates think you're cheating, but the paradox for me at least is it's much easier to swim without fins, cardiovascularly speaking.
