Hey-ho, everybody...
I've been swimming in the lap-lanes...underneath people...since last Wednesday. It gave me a chance to try out my new Sporasub Dassaults. My first pair of fins.
Here's the dealy-o.
Right now, out of practice thanks to old man winter, I can go about 2 1/2 laps without fins. I suppose thats about 60-sump'm meters. Not that impressive as of yet, I know. I don't kick much but one scissor-kick per breast-style stroke and then glide.
The troubling thing is, that I can go further without fins than with fins. Granted, I've only been swimming with the buggers about 5 times.
I'm not bicycle kicking, in fact I barely give it much force. How fast does the average diver travel with such fins (sporasub dassaults)?
I wonder if it just takes getting used to. I can't help but get discouraged, and practice my dynamics without fins. I can only hope I'll be used to them by the time I take my clinic in May. I'm really taking the clinic to learn how to breath up and train, but I don't want this fin situation to get in the way.
Well that's my problem. Right now hands are winning over fins, as far as energy preservation is concerned. I'm starting to think that my sporasubs are meant to be purely diving as opposed to light dynamic.
What do the good Deeperblue citizens think?!
