Have you heard that swimmers can improve their kick strength
and speed by swimming with fins? Who wouldn’t want that? That could be the
difference between winning and losing a race. With so many colors, styles, and
shapes on the market, it may be a bit overwhelming.
Short Bladed
If you are looking for something to help with kick strength,
this may be the fin for you. Because of its short blades, it may feel like
you’re not wearing a fin at all! If you are just starting out, this is the
perfect fin for you as it doesn’t affect kick speed!
Medium – Long Bladed
The Medium to Long Bladed fins offer even more kick
strength; however, since they are longer it can affect your kick speed. These
fins also allow you to feel each kick, emphasizing your motion. These fins are
a great choice when working on dolphin kicks and butterfly.
Monofin
With mono meaning one, these fins are single bladed! If you
are focusing on your butterfly stroke, this will help your form. Not only will
you perfect your form, but you will also get a great full body workout (legs,
core, and back). With using a monofin, you can gain improved ankle flexibility which
result in a better flutter kick.
There is an official sport called
Fin Swimming!
