Hi everyone,
I am going to buy a pair of swimming fins this weekend.
I know that the fin itself should not be a long scuba-type, but rather small or medium the most. Is that right?
The other thing:
I read somewhere that flippers for swimmers should not have a hole on the flipper, but it should be solid. What I mean is.
This is the "solid" one:

And this has a "hole":

Which one of the two you recommend. the first one is not a good quality or at least it doesn't look like a professional thing. Just cheap rubber. I don't know if that's a factor when buying a fin or not. The second one I tried and it was fun. I would definitely buy those unless you -swimmers- says otherwise.
Thanks for the answer:applaud:

Long fins are fine for building leg strength and working on ankle flexibility. If you are only going to get one pair of fins, I would get long swim fins. They aren't scuba fins, but they aren't zoomers either.
Fortress and maybe some others will pop in here and tell you Zoomers are for swimming, not for kicking.
As for which specific pair of swim fins, I have no idea. I have Speedo's and they are fine, but I am not picky.
