Fins, Flippers or what ever you want to call them... Do you love them or hate them? In other words, do you think they are Good, or Evil? I am quite positive that they are twisted EVIL twisted ! The ones that I use must be possesed because every time I use them, I just happen to twist my ankle or get masive blisters. Post your oppinion on fins here!

Completely evil, my foot always cramps when I wear them, which forces me out of the pool to uncramp my foot, and by the time I have, I've missed most of the exercise. Then, I get to repeat the fiasco....

I love 'em! When I was a swimmer, I loved doing kick sets and sprints - adding fins and making the pace times faster was exhilarating! I remember kicking freestyle in 1:03 for 100m kick long course once! The fastest I ever got without fins for 100m kick freestyle long course was 1:25.
Heh, one of the hardest sets I remember (this was during a training camp) included fins for part of it.
4x [4x25y underwater kick with fins no breathing on 20s;
2x50y best stroke (for non-breaststrokers, the breaststrokers were doing something else entirely) sprint with fins on 35s;
30s rest, take fins off;
100y kick best stroke (board optional) no fins ALL OUT (girls try to go under 1:00, guys try to go under 55s), on 2:30]
I was sad that I never made it under a minute, though I probably could have, had I had more rest. But that was the point of it, wasn't it? I maintained 13s for all the underwater 25's, 26s for the sprint 50's (I did free), and 1:05's for the 100 kick.

I don't use fins often in practice, but when I have I like them, when they fit. I know newer swimmers have used them to correct their kick, so they serve a purpose besides making one go fast. So, I give them my love. smile
