however, I think they should be used minimally in training ... the kids I coach and myself use them sparingly, just on some kick sets and some small swim sets. I like using them on fly sets - I feel like I am flying and I am getting good lift with little effort.
However, I really feel if you are really focusing on improving your kick, then you should leave the fins at home.
I like fins because I kick people's ass who don't use them or have a purist attitude about them. Oh, and I agree with Speedo's comments.
SDK is my greatest asset in swimming and I use fins. A lot.
