| Why swim with fins? |
To give your lower body a workout, but there’s more! With the flippers, you can build muscle in the front and back of the thighs, calves, buttocks and abdominal muscles, while improving your cardio. |
| First use of fins? Here are our tips: |
Our best advice is to go gradually: start at your own pace and alternate between swimming with fins and regular swimming.
Fins allow you to diversify your sessions to achieve your goals (improve your technique, tone up, build muscle, lose weight, etc.). |
| How rigid are these fins? |
Trainfin swimming fins are semi-rigid fins.
The stiffer a blade is, the greater muscular exertion will be.
The more FLEXIBLE a blade is, the more efficient and sweeping the kick will be. Your muscular energy will generate the type of effort you’re looking for (cardiovascular or muscular effort). |
| Type of foot pocket: |
Trainfin swimming fins are fins with a closed foot pocket.
The type of foot pocket on a pair of fins determines how well the foot is supported during kicking (important for effective kicking).
The OPEN foot pocket means the ankle can move more freely
The CLOSED foot pocket supports the foot in its natural position |
| How long are these fins? |
Trainfin fins are long fins.
