Hello everyone,
I'm looking for new ways to spice up my training and I think it's time to add some fins/paddle drills to my workouts. I've been looking some speedo/arena/finis/tyr/aquasphere equipment but I'm a bit confused with all the different types of gear that seem to exist.
Regarding fins, which length would you recommend? I think shorter fins are preferred (I'd use them for kicking and underwater drills), but I'm not really sure.. any recommendations/brand for a beginner/intermediate swimmer, please?
Regarding paddles, there seem to be quite a lot of different variables to take into account. Should I go for smaller paddles first? There also seem to be many shapes and types of grip (finger, wrist straps..). Any recommendations/brand for a beginner/intermediate swimmer, please?
Enlighten me, moist people of the fediverse!
Thank you for your answer!
Any particular reason why you chose this shape of paddle? There are a lot of different shapes and with straps in different positions (finger only, wrist...), I suppose they all have a specific uses but I have no idea. Or is it just marketing? :)
I picked it I think because I didn't know what to pick so uni-size from Speedo I thought I could not go totally wrong. Overall my heuristic is not grounded in a lot of swimming experience.
