Description of Optimized Kids Mermaid Monofin Swim Fin by FINIS

SWIM TECHNIQUE TRAINING: Teaches a balanced dolphin kick and builds leg strength; keep legs glued together like a mermaid to keep the fin on. ADJUSTABLE STRAP: Allows for a wide range of sizes, please check the size chart before purchasing; ideal for swimmers ages 6 and up. NEW AND IMPROVED FOOT STRAP: Quick release allows for safe removal at any time the mermaid wants to grow legs again; if the swimmer starts doing a scissor kick (walking motion) in the water, the fin will come off. COMFORTABLE RUBBER CONSTRUCTION: Strap and foot pocket made with TPR material to prevent chafing and skin irritation. REUSABLE MESH BACKPACK: Included bag that is perfect for the beach or pool.

difficult to swim on exercise machines

it doesn't work as you see it in your head, like a nice mermaid. you're more like a sunfish or a flounder. They are overpriced for what you get from them, I would never buy this again and wish I had bought others I've seen for less that are more slippery. They don't even work like normal fins and let you swim weirdly for a while until they fall off. sad 7 year old ALSO the case for this is certainly not worth what they are charging for it. cheap and thin.

Pros
  • nice to use
Cons
  • no instructions

Swims fast but causes bubbles

My little mermaid used a different, stiffer monofin for a while. I ordered this one as it was compatible with a skin I had ordered elsewhere. That fin pierced that skin pretty quickly, even with the protector (but I think that's more of an issue with the fabric than the fin). BUT. My kid loves this fin because it allows him to swim much faster than a stiffer one. This turns and pushes her through the water (she weighs only 6 and barely 40 pounds). I'm taking off a star because the heel strap…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Requires outlet

Excellent quality mermaid fins!

My 6 year old was thrilled when these fins arrived! She is so excited to be a pool mermaid! The Finns sit perfectly on it. If she feels the harness is too tight or too loose in the water, it's easy to adjust and adjust properly. She says she feels comfortable and the strap doesn't hurt her. She loved being a mermaid in the water and these fins give her that chance! We also have a mermaid pouch that fits over these fins and it's pure magic! I highly recommend this excellent quality product that…

Looks good but won't last long

The mermaid tail is definitely cute and offers many fun games for kids. Our biggest concern was its durability. or more precisely, its absence. This product is simply not designed for regular use in a chlorinated pool. The colors faded and the material began to wear out almost immediately. We barely made it through the summer with it and extra care has been taken to try to extend its life (like rinsing it after use, keeping it out of the sun while it dries, etc. There are definitely better…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Didn't work for 3 out of 3 kids

I tried this mermaid story on my two daughters (6 and 8 years old) and her cousin (7 years old), NONE of them keep the fairy tale going . It was either too loose and slipped off immediately, or it was too tight for her feet. I think the reason they struggled was because their legs had to share a compartment. If the strap that holds the legs loosens it is almost impossible to reattach it without tools, which would be very difficult in the pool. I would not recommend this product at all. I would…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Not the best

My daughter liked it!

My 9 year old daughter loves mermaids so she wanted the whole costume for her birthday so she can feel like a mermaid. I was a bit afraid to buy the whole suit for safety reasons, so I went in search of cheap fins that have good reviews. I found this to be one of the cheapest deals on Revain and had great reviews for the most part. My daughter opened it and absolutely loved it, as did all the other little girls at the party. Pink and purple were a plus because those are her favorite colors. She

Pros
  • good stuff

Upgrade number

I bought this for my daughter. As other users have stated, it doesn't stay enabled; two kicks with a dolphin kick and he immediately slips off! My daughter is a great swimmer but so frustrated that she can't swim like a mermaid anymore because this monofin won't hold up. I haven't tried water shoes on her to see if that helps (as other users have recommended). In my opinion I don't need to buy water shoes for this product to work. It's pretty but not useful. Also, the fin isn't as wide as the…

  • Price

  • Good but not great
