| WHAT ARE SWIM FINS FOR? |
A fin is a piece of swimming training equipment to work the lower body. You can simultaneously work on your heart rate and build your lower-body strength (thighs, glutes, calves, core). |
| FIN LENGTH |
SHORT-BLADE FIN
- 33-34: 30 cm
- 35-36: 31 cm
- 37-38: 32.5 cm
- 39-40: 34 cm
- 41-42: 35 cm
- 43-44: 36.5 cm
- 45-46: 38 cm
SHORT blade guarantees a good kick frequency and a good cardio workout. Movements are very close to “natural” swimming movements.
The LONG blade guarantees a longer kick and a more intensive muscle workout. |
| FIN STIFFNESS |
FLEXIBLE FINS
The STIFFER a blade is, the greater the muscular effort will be.
The more FLEXIBLE a blade is, the more efficient and longer the kick will be. Your muscular energy will generate the type of effort you are looking for (cardiovascular or muscular effort). |
| FOOTWEAR |
FULL FOOT
The fin foot pockets hold the foot in place when kicking (important for an efficient kick).
The OPEN foot pocket allows the ankle to move more freely
The CLOSED foot pocket supports the foot in its natural position |
| YOUR FIRST TIME USING A FIN? |
Be careful to not start too quickly! The use of the fins should progressively increase to let the legs and feet adjust and get stronger and to avoid hurting the Achilles tendon. |
