Gintenco Swim Fins for Kids, Teens, Adults & Women

Complete Overview

【Easier to Kick and Less Fatigue】

Short fins are ideal for most snorkelers because they’re kinder on your leg muscles. Each kick doesn’t require as much power, and the strokes are shorter compared to using longer fins. Although short fins generate less thrust, speed isn’t your main concern while snorkeling. You’ll mostly be floating at the surface and won’t need to swim long distances through strong currents.

【Easy to Practice With in a Pool】

Many casual snorkelers are used to a swimming flutter kick, which requires short and fast strokes. Due to this, kicking with short fins will feel more familiar, making it easier to get used to. In fact, short fins are a great way to train your legs for the flutter kick and are commonly used by swimmers for this purpose.

【Easier to Travel With】

Traveling by air is much more challenging than before, with many airlines now having stricter baggage size and weight limits. Short fins under 25 inches are much easier to bring with you as a carry-on, making your journey less hassle.

【Less Likely to Accidentally Kick Coral, Sea Life, and Other Snorkelers】

Beginners may be clumsy with their feet as they learn to kick, but new snorkelers and divers will find it much easier to maneuver in short fins. This means there’s a lower chance of accidentally kicking coral, wildlife, or even fellow snorkelers!

【How to Choose the Right Fins】

Comfort is key! A fin that’s too stiff can cause cramps quickly, regardless of how well it fits. Our fins with flexible material provide a better experience. A snug fit also reduces chafing and slippage around your ankle. Fin socks can offer extra comfort, insulation, or can be used if you’re between sizes.
