Hydro Training Fins

About Hydro Training Fins

Initially, fitness and competitive swimmers were using long fins as training aids. Because the center of effort is forward of the foot, this may cause early fatigue or cramping and encourage a "pedaling" kicking motion, different than that used in a flutter kick. The concept of the short fin was conceived to bring the center of effort back to the foot, and increase leg strength and "muscle memory" while maintaining an elevated heart rate with a kicking motion specific to the flutter kick. Many of the training fins in use today are simply a standard dive fin that has been cut off, leaving a stiff, inflexible blade. Here are the features and advantages of the Hydro's Training Fins:
  • The V channell edge and greater blade width add back the surface area and resistance lost in shortening the fin, while keeping the center of effort close to the foot.
  • The rubber composition is of the highest quality material and is soft, flexible, and comfortable. The colors are permanent and will not mar decks or pool surfaces.
  • The patented V channel provides even thrust in both directions. The V channel also creates a noticeable "grip" on the water maximizing kick drills results.
  • The foot pocket design allows minimal protrusion of the toes. We have had no failures reported at the toe pocket or heel in two and a half years of team use.
NOTE: Fin colors are subject to change at the manufacturer's discretion.
Fin sizes are in men's sizes

I love these fins! They don't give me cramps in the arches of my feet, like many longer ones and softer ones do, nor calf cramps. They work great for dolphin kicking, and general swimming. They don't make my legs too tired, like the old zoomers did. They take a bit of getting used to: I notice I do not go quite as fast with these fins (I'm not leading my lane during fin sets, as I was with longer fins). They seem to make it harder to do flutter kick. I have had ankle problems (pain from an old sprain), and these fins do not aggravate my ankle soreness. I have tried lots of fins--different lengths, shapes, sizes, etc. I used to have my own pair of medium-length fins with angled end, which fit perfectly (they tore after about 6 years of use). I couldn't find the exact same pair, so I first tried a longer fin from swim2000 (Speedo fins), but had to return them because they gave me foot cramps. These work much better for me. Re size: I wear women's size 9.5 or 10 shoes, and most fins are either too big or too small. I ordered these in medium, and they are fine now, slightly on the loose side (wide in the foot). If they stretch at all, they will be too big.
