For the coached swim sessions we're all going to need to use swim training fins. They're different to the ones you might use for snorkelling/diving in that they're shorter and more flexible and don't require booties like some diving ones.They're essential for some of the drills we will be doing. I've used a few over the years and found the TYR split fins to be the most durable, comfortable and functional of the lot.
If you have your fins from last year then you don't need to get any, but for anyone who does need some i recommend these. Normally you'd buy a size smaller than shoe size to give a good fit and they will stretch a little with use.
Our friends in Chain Driven Cycles in Sligo Town are getting in some TYR fins next week. I don't have their price yet but they will do a 10% discount for club members. I'd encourage people to get them there as Stephen has sponsored amongst other things the bike time trials and made wet suits available for the fitting session we did in April. As a club we like to keep our money local, it's grand buying stuff on the net but our club will never get sponsorship from a website.
