Hi there,
Is there any one here call those longies "flippers"?
As a freediver in particular and a diver in general, I'm used to the "fins" as a basic equipment. But got into the pool, many ones called my longies "flippers", which made me sad for a while Then I've come to a conclusion:
Please share your story about "fins vs flippers." Are swimmers in your region using (/calling) "flippers" or "fins"?
P.S. A little surprise when no one here on DeeperBlue talk about this topic while there are lots of such "Flippers LOL" topics on ScubaBoard.

- Flippers are those shorties for swimmers, and
- Fins are those longies for divers. Again,
- Long fins are those extra-longies for freedivers compared with those
- (normal/short) fins for scuba divers.
