Swim fins for training your kick in the pool
Fins are a very useful training aid for working on kick technique and getting a better feel for the glide through the water. Used correctly, they help you keep your body aligned and focus on the movement without your legs slowing you down. Here you'll find different styles, from short fins like the DRUNA to open-heel pool fins, such as the PANGA or the kids' TORPEDO.
If you're building your kit from scratch, it may help to review the essential gear for getting started in swimming and decide what you need first.
How to choose your fins
- Length: short fins are a good choice for training your kick technique in the pool.
- Open heel and adjustable: models like the PANGA let you adjust the fit to your foot more comfortably.
- Size: go by your shoe size and check the available sizes for each model before you buy.
- For little ones: the TORPEDO INDIGO are kids' fins, adjustable and open-heel.
- Where you're at: if you're returning to the water after a break, start with gentle sessions; this guide to getting back into swimming as a beginner has some good ideas.

Frequently asked questions
What size swim fins does my child need?
Measure your little one's foot and compare it with each model's size chart, because sizing varies. INDIGO Swim Fins range from 28/29 to 40/41, DRUNA start at 30-32, and the children's TORPEDO are adjustable in S-M and L-XL. If you're between two sizes, consider how much your child's foot is likely to grow.
What's the difference between short fins and adjustable open-heel fins?
Short fins, like the DRUNA, focus on developing kick technique and provide propulsion without feeling bulky. Adjustable open-heel fins, like the PANGA or TORPEDO, fasten with a strap and fit the foot more closely, which is handy when they're shared or for growing children.
Which fins are best for a child who is just starting to swim?
For the youngest swimmers, INDIGO TORPEDO are a good choice: they're children's fins, adjustable and open-heel. If you prefer a specific foot size, INDIGO Swim Fins come in sizes from 28/29 and suit both beginners and experienced swimmers.
How should I care for my swim fins so they last longer?
After every session, rinse them in fresh water to remove the chlorine, let them air-dry in a well-ventilated spot, and keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, which can warp them. Store them flat with nothing heavy on top, and don't leave them folded inside a wet bag.
Can swim fins be used for practice at home or in the sea?
These fins are designed for pool training, so that's where they work best. At home, they have no real use out of the water. If you're looking for children's diving or snorkeling fins, keep in mind that these are a different type of equipment, and these models are geared toward kick technique.
