How do you know what size swim fins to get?
Start by choosing fin size based on your shoe size. If you wear a size 10 in your daily shoes, begin with a size 10 swimming fin. Upon receiving your fins, or during your visit to a Kiefer Swim Shop, make a visual comparison by aligning the sole of your shoe with the sole of your fin.
What are Zoomers for swimming?
The Zoomers® Gold fins provide an improved foot pocket formulated from soft natural rubber for increased comfort. The short blade encourages shorter, faster kicks for additional propulsion through the water. The Zoomers® Gold Fins are an ideal training fin for cardiovascular conditioning and speed training.
Are Zoomers shorter?
Since the zoomer fins are shorter than regular fins, they are much easier to throw into your swimming gear bag and transport around. You can use Zoomers Gold to improve your freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly kick (no breaststroke sorry :)).
What size snorkel fins do I need?
To begin with, try on a pair of full-foot fins that is the same size as your shoes. You can even line up the sole of the shoe you’re currently wearing with the sole of the fin to see how closely they match. Pay attention not just to the length of the foot pocket, but also how wide or narrow it is compared to your shoe.
What is the average age of a Boomer?
Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. They’re currently between 57-75 years old (71.6 million in the U.S.)
How tight should your fins be?
Your fins should have a snug fit on your feet. Just like hiking shoes, a fit that’s too loose will result in uncomfortable chafing and even blisters. However, if your fin is so tight that it’s tricky to get even one finger into the pocket, or if your toes feel cramped for space, then the fins are too small for you.
How do you walk in flippers?
In shallow water (up to about knee-depth), walk lifting your knees a bit higher than normal. This allows the fins to slide upwards and forwards through the water. Then place your foot down quickly on the bottom for the next step. The straps should be secure enough so that the fins do not slip around your leg.
