Buying swimming fins

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: file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/huy81225/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.pngfile:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/huy81225/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.pngwww.decathlon.co.uk/.../ And this has a "hole": www.tribord.com/.../ 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:

  • I've started with training lessons on front- and butterfly-stroke. This passed thursday the butterflystroke was new to me. At the pool were only very large fins available. And it was my first experience with swimming fins. So I felt every muscle in my feet. Now I consider to buy a pair of Speedo Biofuse Training Fins to train the dolphin kick. Off course it's marketing talk, but I read Michael Phelps is training with the Speedo Biofuse's below. Nice, but I like to hear some experience here with these fins at the front- and especially the butterfly-stroke. So, who has experience with these fins? BUMP! :bump: I was looking into buying some of these Speedo Biofuse Fins as well (Link: official page on speedousa.com) and was also interested in hearing from anyone who has used these. Most of the comments I could find elsewhere were about sizing.
