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 think fins are great so you can train technique. You get the necessary speed to feel the water in a relevant way during a drill without getting too tired to repeat over and over.
Also great for overspeed training where you swim much faster than your all out fin free times so you can develop the right technique to minimizing drag at speed (unlike drills, this is tiring). They are only a crutch if you race in them.
