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:
Ya, longer fins are better for kicking sets. Hate the smaller ones and zoomers, they kinda just help you to keep up.
I got these from the swimoutlet store online.

Have let to try them since I had to return them for a smaller size but the fin is in between the size of a scuba fins and zoomers.
Actually note true. Shorter fins when doing "power work" are actually much better because you can get your kick tempo much higher. I've written before about using a fin like the Finis Z2 and smaller paddles like the Han's paddles for blast 25's & 50's to develop speed/power.
