Z2 Zoomer Fins seem to be quiet popular and have great reviews here at Amazon & Swimoutlet.
They seem to be more liked than their predecessors : the regular Blue & Red Zoomers. The good thing about Z2 Zoomers is they dont cause cramps after long usage in the pool.
The benifits of using Fins are in :
• Making legs work harder without overloading the muscles,therefore helping you sustain better form over a longer period of time
• Generating Higher propulsion that helps in maintaining higher body position and better body roll.
• Increasing your ankle flexibility.
•Simulating the body position that should really be when you are actually swimming without fins.
•Help you kick small and fast within the slip stream
Fins are a must for competitive and recreational swimmer for learning 'effective kicking'.
Excerpt on Zoomers from About.com
"Short or small bladed fins, such as Zoomers, allow you to maintain a foot speed closer to your regular kicking speed with no fins. They also add just enough extra surface area to give you more power from the kick. Zoomer-type fins come in two colors, blue and red. The blue fins are made of a softer material for folks new to short fin kicking or those that have a less efficient kick. They are less stressful on the ankle due to a more flexible fin blade, much more comfortable when starting out. The red are stiffer fins, resulting in more force per kick, but that also results in more stress on your joints and muscles."
