Short fins for strength training: product suggestions.

Former Member over 15 years ago

Hi! I got a hernia a couple of years ago and therapist suggested short bladed fins as a safer choice over weight exercises: needless to say, I'll use them for legs and back strength training purposes and guess silicone items will get the job done safely. There are countless products to choose from and I need opinions from experienced swimmers before buying. I had my eye on this one and Cressi training; many place Zoomers among the best swim fins around. How about them? What other options to consider? Thank you! Finnico

Does anyone not like their fins? Most people say they like the fins they have.

We tested fins a couple of months ago for our member magazine. This video might be helpful to you: YouTube - SWIMMER Magazine Fin Testing

I have the Sporti Training Swim Fins ($16.95 from from swimoutlet.com). I really like them. I had tried out the Zoomers before buying the Sporti, but found the Zoomers to be too rigid, which made them uncomfortable. If you have the opportunity to try a pair before buying, it might make the decision easier.
