Z2
|
|
|
|
 |
|
The latest release from the Zoomers line of fins, Z2 fins utilize a patented angle and quick response technology to promote a shorter, faster kick. The smaller blades make legs work harder without overloading the muscles,therefore helping you sustain better form over a longer period of time. The higher propulsion generated by the use of Z2 supports a higher body position and better body roll for a greater level of conditioning across freestyle, backstroke or butterfly.
Z2s are easy to use because they create immediate propulsion and generate force in both directions of the kick. Their size and shape offer greater ease of movement, comfort and safety, and allow swimmers of any ability to transition the full power of their legs into the water.

How to select between Red and Blue Zoomers fins:
Which model will be best for you?
The Red Zoomers fin is slightly stiffer ( 5 to 6%) than the Blue Zoomers fin. There are several ways to decide which one will work best for you. The choice depends on how efficient your flutter kick is. One of the most important benefits of Zoomers fins is being able to use your legs much more than you normally can when swimming. You will go faster, your heart rate will be higher, you will get in better cardiovascular condition and you will have more fun swimming.
A Simple way to choose: If you swim a fitness or lap swimming workout consisting of continuous laps, then the Blue fin is most often the best choice. The Blue fin will let you work hard but will not prematurely fatigue your legs so you can use your legs throughout the workout. If you have a poor kick, then the Red fin may cause very rapid fatigue in your legs and then you end up dragging your legs for the remainder of your workout.
The Best way to choose: Red vs. Blue based on the efficiency of the flutter kick: If you make good to excellent forward progress when kicking flutter kick on a kick board, or if you are able to keep your flutter kick active continuously when swimming many laps of crawl stroke, then you have a good, efficient kick. The Red Zoomers fin is the best choice. If you make very poor progress on a kick board, or when swimming crawl stroke, if you tend to drag your legs or use a two-beat kick, then your kick is not very efficient. The Blue Zoomers fin is best for you. What makes a kick good? First, it has very little to do with intelligence, knowledge, or coordination. The difference between a good kick and a poor kick is primarily due to how far the feet flex forward. Forward flexing of the foot is called plantar flexion. Example: Watch swimmers swimming crawl stroke from the side view, under water. Swimmer (A) with a good kick has feetwhich point straight back behind (the top of the foot will be parallel with the top of the water. Swimmer (B) with poor plantar flexion, has feet which point down toward the bottom of the pool somewhat. (See LEG PROPULSION: for more explanation on transferring leg power to the water). The blade of the Zoomers fin is an extension of the foot. When swimming crawl stroke, to get good propulsion from the Zoomers fin, when the foot is moving downward, you must push hard enough to bend the fin blade up past horizontal. This allows the fin blade to slip forward on the water which, in turn, pushes you forward. Swimmer (A) with good plantar flexion can bend the Red Zoomers fin far enough to get good propulsion for an amount of effort which is sustainable. Swimmer (B) with poor plantar flexion must bend the fin blade much farther than Swimmer (A). To get propulsion from the Red fin, swimmer (B) must push so hard that the legs become fatigued EXTREMELY rapidly. Swimmer (B) can get good propulsion from the slightly softer Blue Zoomers fin for an amount of effort which can be sustained.

The sizing corresponds to standard shoe sizes. Running shoes tend to run somewhat small the running shoe size will not necessarily be your correct fin size. Select your size based on a men's dress shoe or a woman's walking shoe (a pump or a flat). If your shoe size is in the middle of the fin size range: For example, if you are a women's size 9, a size E (8-9 1/2) would be correct. If you are between sizes: For example, a men's size 10 could fit either an F 8 (1/2-10) or a G (10-11 1/2). To choose the best fit, then the width of your foot or the prominence of your instep determines whether you should choose to size up or size down. Average width foot: If you have an average width foot (medium width or up to a C width) then you should choose the size F (8 1/2-10). Wide foot or high arch: If you have a wide foot, a D or E width or wider, or a high arch (high instep), then you should choose the larger size G (10-11 1/2). It is not unusual to develop some soreness on the top of the foot when first using a fin.

This waterproof SwiMP3 player is for swimmers, triathletes, surfers, synchronized swimmers and anyone involved in water activities. Unlike other waterproof players that rely on traditional air conduction technologies, the SwiMP3 player
uses bone conduction – the direct transfer of sound vibrations from the cheek bone to the inner ear – to provide the swimmer with exceptional sound clarity. The SwiMP3 player is fully waterproof and can be used with all competitive swim strokes. It holds approximately 30 songs for four hours of continuous music. "This is a revolutionary step forward for aquatic athletes," said John Mix, President, Finis. "Swimming while listening to their favorite music is a dream many swimmers have long shared. While others have tried to produce waterproof players, results have been less than satisfactory. As the technical leader in the aquatics industry, Finis is proud to be the first to master the technology and bring high-fidelity sound to aquatic sports." The SwiMP3 player (pronounced "Swim-P-3") allows athletes to hear the same high quality music while they're in the water that they're accustomed to hearing while running, biking or at the gym. While other waterproof players rely on the transmission of sound through water or air, often producing a muffled sound, the SwiMP3 player directly stimulates the inner ear, resulting in exceptional sound quality for the listener. Bone conduction hearing is a safe, well-established hearing mechanism in humans that the SwiMP3 player leverages to enhance aquatic activity. Finis's application of the technology brings an entirely new level of experience to swimmers, either while working out or taking a leisurely swim. The SwiMP3 player comes with a pair Lane 4 goggles, ear plugs, carrying case, a USB cable and MusicMatch CD. Finis has a licensing agreement with MusicMatch to provide the MusicMatch Jukebox and download capabilities to the SwiMP3 player. The product runs on Windows and Macintosh platforms. Full system requirements are listed below.
