Hi guys and gals,
My name is George and I have just signed up to deeperblue. I love swimming, diving, snorkeling and water sports in general. I have been researching fins for over three days and I can't seem to find the information or answers I am looking for so i decided maybe some of you can come to my rescue. I swim daily, or used to, and I bought a pair of Churchills ( I probably sound like a complete amateur which I am) here in the UAE. These were the best investment I had made to date, so much fun, fast, relaxing...it made swimming much more fun. I usually swim anywhere I can, pools, sea, etc... Although I still love my fins, I want to move on to something new. I want to buy fins for normal swimming, I preferably would like to try monofins and I want to know what I should buy...I was looking at some expensive fins like, Leaderfins and Waterway, but I dont want to dish out that much cash, just to realize I cannot use the fins for whatever reason...basically I want fins to swim recreationally and for training (butterfly, crawl, etc)...I want to go fast, build swimming muscles, and have a good time...I do not mind spending extra money if it means I will get results, I just want to know which fins would suit my purpose...to sum it up more easily as I may be rambling:
I need fins to swim (butterfly, crawl, finswimming, etc)
I want to go fast, I want to build/tone muscles...(I can swim with my Churchill's for hours so I think I can use pretty much any fin if it comes down to leg strength....)
Built to last
High prices are fine if they are worth the added benefits
I want to have fun!!! (probably sound like a bimbo, which I am NOT)
For example, I am assuming one cannot use a DOL-Fin to just swim normally in the sea or in a large pool or can I???
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated and I hope I did not sound like an idiot...if any of you are ever in the UAE (Dubai & Abu Dhabi) you can also let me know...I could show you around, help out, etc...
