AquaLung Slingshot Open Heel Fins
Aqua Lung Slingshot Fins help to do away with ankle fatigue/soreness and flimsiness. Unlike more traditional fins, Aqua Lung Slingshot Fins are designed specifically to use all their surface for efficient power. Slingshot Fins feature a hinged fin and silicone bands that can be set in three positions: short for easier, slower kicking, medium for a little faster, and long (increasing the tension) for even faster, more draining, athletic swimming. They also have three stiffness levels, are easy to "shift gears" in, and with the midfoot pivot on the fin, the stress is taken off the ankle and moved down. There you go...a big change from dads flip-flops. You can buy these AquaLung Slingshot Open Heel Fins for a price of $175.
