Swim fins are used for diving, various watersports as well as being a helpful tool to get in shape. Whether you like to swim for sport, exercise or pleasure, you can find the right swim fin for you.
Aqua Lung Hotshot Fin
At only 21 inches long, the Aqua Lung Hotshot Fin is small enough to fit in your carry-on bag. It features a midpoint flex joint, which allows the entire length of the blade to flex and provide forward thrust. It also features Twin-Speed Gear Shift, which allows the diver to choose the best speed-to-effort ratio even while wearing the fins. Divers can slip into these fins with bare feet and enjoy anti-slip rubber pads on the bottom to prevent slipping as well as grooves to prevent feet from getting sucked in like a vacuum.
SCUBAPRO Seawing Nova
Voted as the 2010 Tester's Choice via ScubaDiving.com, the official website of Scuba Diving Magazine, the SCUBAPRO Seawing Nova features the latest in hydrodynamic designs with its wing-like fins and open-heeled kicker. The fins are connected to the foot pocket by a pair of stabilizing ribs, which allows the blade to pivot and generate thrust. This also makes for a fast fin. The foot pocket features an extended heel plate that helps minimize leg strain, is easily maneuverable, and stable.
Aqua Sphere Alpha Fins
Swimming laps is an effective cardio workout. Aqua Sphere Alpha Fins are made out of lightweight EVA foam, which allows your feet to float above water, making it easy to maintain a correct form while you swim. Ergonomically shaped with full arch support, these fins also feature the foot pocket at the bottom of the fins. This allows you to kick with your ankles instead of your knees, making it easy on the joints. Durable and long-lasting, these fins will not deteriorate because of sun or chlorine exposure and won't absorb water.
Finis Foil Monofin
Learn how to swim like a dolphin with the Finis Foil Monofin. Made out of 100 percent rubber, this fin was developed by Misty Hyman, former gold medalist at the 2000 Olympics, and her coach, Bob Gillett. She attributes her success to this particular fin style, claiming that "powerful underwater kicking can be a huge advantage in racing." It features a large surface area to effectively work core and leg muscles, an open toe and heel design, water channels to control the flex of the fin and a rubber blade for safety.
