I don&#39;t kick (well, maybe on turns) - I just use them to help my feet plane to get my body in alignment. The fins also make great &quot;rudders&quot; so I can tell if I&#39;m fishtailing. They were very helpful with backstroke pull to help me roll deep enough. A pull-buoy also hurts my lower back when I pull fly or *** but the fins don&#39;t cause my back to arch so much when breathing.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/153449?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 20 Nov 2010 13:14:17 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:e553767e-ccb3-4a42-b8fc-d8fe1e02d4ecFormer MemberI always do. I have never liked using a bouy and I always mess my shoulders up when I use paddles....so I always use fins just to keep my feet up, but I don&#39;t kick.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
