Developing a powerful and efficient kick is fundamental to success in competitive swimming, and the right pair of training fins is an indispensable tool in any swimmer's mesh bag. Intentionally designed for performance enhancement, swim training fins are a core piece of equipment for building targeted leg strength and improving overall technique.

By increasing the surface area of your feet, fins add resistance to your kick, directly engaging your quads, hamstrings, and glutes to build significant power and muscular endurance. This added resistance also increases propulsion, allowing swimmers to maintain a better body position in the water, keeping the hips high and reducing drag. This makes it easier to focus on other aspects of your stroke, such as your pull or rotation, while still benefiting from a strong, propulsive kick.

Our collection includes a variety of styles to meet specific training objectives. Short blade fins, like the Speedo Switchblade or TYR Crossblade, are designed to promote a faster, more race-specific kick tempo while still providing enough resistance to build power. They are ideal for sprint sets and maintaining a high turnover rate. Conversely, long blade fins provide greater resistance and are excellent for developing ankle flexibility for swimming and raw power, making them a great choice for kick sets focused on endurance and deliberate motion.

At Elsmore Swim Shop, we stock a carefully selected range of high-performance competitive swimming fins from the most trusted names in the sport, including FINIS, Speedo, and TYR. Find the correct pair of swimming fins to support your training goals and help you gain a competitive advantage in the pool.
