Finswimming
Fins and Monofins
Selecting the best finswimming fins for your goals. Whether you're racing in a 50-meter sprint or swimming long distances of 20 kilometers or more, choosing the right finswimming fins is crucial. Your equipment should be tailored to the specific demands of your discipline and your personal objectives.
For short distances, where explosiveness and rapid activation are key, shorter and stiffer finswimming fins are ideal. These fins provide the necessary speed and agility. As you move to longer distances, your fins should be longer and more flexible, allowing for sustained performance without overwhelming your energy reserves.
The stiffness of your finswimming fins should match your body size and strength. Rigid fins offer more power but can lead to quick exhaustion, while overly flexible fins may require a higher kick frequency, which can cause fatigue. In monofin swimming, mastering the undulation technique can be challenging, but the right blade type can make a significant difference. Additionally, the foot pocket in your finswimming fins is critical. It must offer excellent comfort during training and competitions and ensure maximum energy transfer for effective performance.
