Review on Maximize Your Swim Performance With FINIS Training Fins by Dennis Goozmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fix my form best in my review

There is a lot of talk and a lot of products for swimmers to improve technique. Kick boards, hand paddles, snorkel, buoyancy noodles, bungee cords, etc. All of these products help in diffrent ways but can also hinder you if not used carefully. This product makes it easier to stay buoyant while focusing on breathing, arm techinque, etc. I am 5' 10" 168 lbs so my lower body immediately sinks. With this product I can float with much less effort and improve technique. In 3 months of swimming almost daily I went from "about to die" after 100 yards to swimming 2200 yards (1.5 miles) in one workout. This product, if not carefully regulated can be a crutch. Put these on and my 25 yard time goes down by avg 8 seconds. Not that fun to swim 25 second lengh only to go to 31-33 seconds with bare feet. I alternate one day with fins 1 day without. That helps. I enjoy my day with them better. I feel like a little fishy. Another little thing worth mentioning is they were rubbing at the base of my great toe nail eroding the skin. I solved that problem by wearing socks with them. I look a bit weird in a white brief cut speedo black socks and yellow fins but its worth it. Kinda

Pros
  • The FINIS Training Fins will help you swim longer, faster, and more efficiently than ever before
Cons
  • May cause discomfort if worn for extended periods of time
