I'm a little confused about the difference between swim fins, long ones or short forked ones. I'd like to get some that will help build strength, I do mostly freestyle and butterfly as a fitness swimmer, but will be entering some open water swim events before long again.
Thanks,

My recommendation is to skip the fins. Do your kick work on a board (sans fins). When that becomes too easy for you, then consider using fins.
