FinisFloating Fins.

We recommend that you buy some SLB, which is smaller and softer than the diving SLB. If you are planning to buy an ankle, we recommend that you buy medium-length and soft ones, just like FinisFloating Fins ).

 

Limitations of thefundamentals of freestyle discovery Ming can be learned more than tively with a littlebit of extra propulsion from wearing fins. Use the fins to perform some of thedrills and techniques we outlined in tip 4.

After learning a lot of basic freestyle exercises, wearing an ankle will make learning more effective, because it will give you a little extra motivation. Exercise the action we mentioned in Article 4 using the ankle.

 

Wear the fins forspecific exercises, not all the time. Warm up at the beginning of a session andwarm down at the end of a session without them.

I wear slice for special exercises, but not all the time. Do not wear slice during warm-up and organizing activities.
