Not long ago, we had the honor of coaching a few of the well know masters swimmers from the Forum (an international group of elite accomplished master's swimmers). Thought you would enjoy seeing a youtube video of our Forum Camp at The Race Club.
Happy New Year!!

I am an admitted finaholic, but I normally recommend fins in training for Masters about 30% in freestyle, 50% in fly and back. The stroke rate and volume with fins is different and therefore, the closer to competition, the less fins should be used.
I find fins particularly useful in drills teaching body rotation for free and back as they increase the stabilizing force and increase the power of the pull from the counter rotation.
Otherwise, they just make me feel like I am still good.
