Guide Picks - Top 10 TRAINING FLIPPERS & FINS
Flippers are a great way to build leg strength and flexibility. They can help you learn better body position and get the "feel" for swimming fast. Add some to your workout bag. Short bladed fins tend to allow a kick speed closer to that of swimming, while longer bladed fins work the force element.
1) HydroSportz Training Fins
Comfort, performance (even and powerful thrust in both directions) and durability are key features in this model from Australia. Read the full review.
2) Zoomers
Zoomers help you swim faster, work out harder, have better control in the water, and quite a bit more.
3) Finis Monofins
Continued use of the monofin will improve technique, strengthen core muscles, and increase flexibility. A great tool for butterfly.

Short stiff blade fins for swim training and aqua therapy rehabilitation. Patented soft neoprene foot pocket eliminates chaffing and blisters associated with older technology.
