FINIS Positive Drive Fin

I recommend these for both beginners and intermediate swimmers, in particular, for those who are keen to improving their breaststroke. A key in breaststroke is to catch water by your soles (and calves). The equipment tells you how to move your legs and feet to achieve this effectively. My 50m breaststroke time was improved from 36s to 32s in a year! Because the toe of the fine is not open, the fin gets too tight during training and I have to stop to loosen it. This is the only downside for me.

tried it once & its great

Fast and efficient

They fit nicely (and are easily adjustable), they allow me to do both front crawl and breast stroke (haven't tried others). It took me a while to figure out how to do the breast stroke with these (old-fashioned breast stroke, not the new-fangled one where you kick down), and it works perfectly for me now. It really gives my lower body a very good work out and I can give my arms and upper body more of a break as I don't want to build more muscle on my shoulders/back. They are very pleasing to swim in, very comfortable, light and small to pack and most pools now permit these. I absolutely love them and wish I had found something similar ages ago - it changed my swim to be much more fun. In comparison to other swimming fins that I tried in the past, these don't seem to make my legs float - with the maru swim fins I always felt that it was pushing my feet almost to the surface of the water, which clearly must be counter-productive. These are just neutral, they are where my feet would normally be - they don't float, nor do they sink. Fantastic.

Good quality but sadly XL was too big for my size 7 feet.

主人用に購入しました。普通のフィンだと平泳ぎのキックの練習がやりずらいので、このフィンにしました。とても重宝してるようです。ありがとうございました。❗

I lap swim a mile four times a week and I never take these fins off. They work for all strokes and don't tire out your leg muscles at all. At this point i can't swim without them. I've had the same pair for years and have not had to replace them. The heel are adjustable so that takes care of size issues. My speed is much improved. I love them. I only wish Finis would change the color : (.

Une amie me les avait fait essayer, je les ai commandées et dès le premier jour d'utilisation fait essayer à deux autres amies … qui les commandent également. L'exercice avec ces palmes est très efficace et, effectivement, on ne risque pas de blesser les autres. A recommander pour développer la technique et la force. Comme l'attache, très fragile, s'est cassée après deux mois d'utilisation, j'ai pris contact avec l'importateur FINIS pour l'Europe (en Bulgarie). Ils m'ont, le même jour, envoyé de nouvelles attaches. Service remarquablement efficace et fiable donc. Produit à conseiller vivement.

Review of the FINIS Positive Drive Fins (PDF) - Four Stroke Training Fins. I am a recreational swimmer. I’ve owned and used long and short fins, but the FINIS PDF is the shortest yet. It’s also the oddest looking one. It looks like I’m wearing a Frisbee on my feet. I’ve never seen anyone else using the FINIS PDF so it does attract stares from other swimmers. The primary reason that I purchased the FINIS PDF is that I finally decided to master the breaststroke. My breaststroke kick is horrendous and I get no forward motion from it. The FINIS PDF is supposed to be one of the only swim fins that you can use in the breaststroke. After using it for a month, my breaststroke kick with the FINIS PDF has improved, but it is still a work in progress. For this reason, I am happy with the purchase. I wear a shoes size US 8.5 which is a MEDIUM in almost every brand of swim fins. I decided to double check and ask Amazon’s “Ask Rufus” which size I should order, and the answer surprised me - XL. I thought that was a mistake so I searched FINIS’s website and found a size chart for the PDF. For my shoe’s size, US male 8.5 - 10, the FINIS PDF size is an XL. Some reviewers have complained that the FINIS PDF have caused foot pain and skin abrasions. From my experience, all swim fins can cause some foot cramps and pain, but that usually goes away. Skin abrasions are possible if the fins are not properly sized. So far, the FINIS PDF are the most comfortable swim fins that I have ever used. The FINIS PDF are light enough that they will float back to the surface of the water if you drop the fins or they fall off your feet. The are also light and small enough that I intend to pack them in my luggage on my next overseas beach / outdoor swim pool trip. Overall, I am very pleased with the FINIS PDF. They have become my primary swim fins.

Ho appena iniziato ad usare queste pinne positive in piscina. All’inizio ho fatto fatica con la gambata ma, con l’uso, mi sono reso conto che stavo migliorando la posizione. Aiutano molto in questo senso. Sono soddisfatto dell’acquisto e credo che diventeranno le mie pinne di riferimento.
