Swimming Fins To Take With You On Every Trip

It's summer time, and that means vacations! Here are some of the most important items to bring on your adventures.

You'll need some swimming fins for all of those days you spend in the water; it can be nice to explore the reef without slipping around. A waterproof bag will also come in handy if you're going somewhere rainy, or if you're staying in a hut with a leaky roof. And always carry plenty of sunscreen when exploring exotic destinations.

 

If you're not much of a swimmer, don't worry. Your swimming fins will help you out immensely, and they'll also let you get up close and personal with the underwater world. Have fun!

Benefits of using swimming fins

1. Extend your swimming range. You can swim up to 40-50 meters in open water with swim training fins. Swim the same distance with bare skin without your fins--you'll tire out significantly quicker!

2. Easy to use fins are also great for higher rescue situations when you're in the ocean. It's easier to lift someone higher when you're walking on your feet instead of dragging them around on their stomachs.

3. When it's time to leave the water, flip your fins backwards and slide them onto your shoes as you walk away from the water.

4. Snorkelers also wear fins for better control over their snorkel gear, and to help them swim better underwater.

5. You can also use fins to aid in physical therapy (and improve your fitness!) specifically designed for the lower legs and the thighs. These tend to be smaller fins which you can wear like an extension of the foot, known as foot-pocket fins . They are designed to aid in strengthening the ankles, calves, shins, hamstrings and buttocks.

Where To Buy Fins For Swimming?

Many people choose to buy their fins online because it's far cheaper than buying them at a local store or from a specialty shop. Here are a few online stores that we recommend:

You can get the best swimming fins sold through specialty shops or retailers that tend to be the more expensive type of fin called "open-back" fins. If you're looking to save money and buy a budget-friendly pair of fins, we recommend purchasing them online.

Open-back Fins vs Closed Back Fins: Open fin blades are designed so that water can flow freely between the blade and the heel cup, which helps prevent chafing and blisters! Also, these types of fins are less prone to cracking after years of use since they don't have any pressure on them at all.

Closed fins, on the other hand, have a solid back which limits movement at the ankle area. They're often more popular for competitive swimmers as they limit drag and help with speed.

The downside to closed-back fins is that you can really feel the pressure from the water as you move your feet. If you find open-back fins too flimsy for your liking, you can always cut out some of the rubber from inside their back walls to create a more solid, less movable territory for the toes.
