FAQs

What is the primary benefit of using these training fins?

The primary benefit is to increase leg strength and improve ankle flexibility by creating water resistance, which aids in developing a more powerful and efficient kick.

Are these fins suitable for competitive racing?

No, these fins are designed specifically for training purposes to build strength and technique. Their design is not optimized for the speed required in competitive racing.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by the manufacturer or check the product's specific size markings (e.g., UK shoe sizes). The fins should fit snugly but comfortably, with an enclosed heel and an open toe.

Can I use these fins in open water?

While they can be used in open water, they are primarily designed for pool training. Be mindful of the conditions and ensure you are comfortable and proficient with them before using them in open water.

What material are the Maru Training Fins made from?

They are made from high-grade soft silicone, which provides a comfortable and flexible fit.

How do I clean my Maru Training Fins?

Rinse them with fresh water after each use and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not use harsh chemicals.

Will these fins help improve my overall swimming technique?

Yes, by building leg strength and improving ankle flexibility, they contribute to a better kicking action, which is a fundamental part of overall swimming technique.

Troubleshooting

Fins feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fins are new, they may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for short durations initially.

Fins slip off during use

Verify that the fins are the correct size and are fully seated on your feet. The enclosed heel should provide a secure fit. If the issue persists, check if your feet are wet or if there's residue on the fins or feet.

Fins cause chafing or blisters

Ensure the fins are properly sized and that there is no debris inside the foot pocket. For sensitive skin, consider wearing thin swim socks designed for aquatic use.

  • Effective for general swim training and conditioning.

  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These fins are designed for immediate use. Simply slide your feet into the foot pockets, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The enclosed heel and open toe design should accommodate most foot shapes. It's recommended to wear them without socks for the best feel and performance.

Compatibility: The Maru Training Fins are compatible with most standard swimming training programs and pool environments. They are suitable for use in chlorinated swimming pools. Avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater if possible, as it can degrade the silicone over time.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your fins:

  1. Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use to remove chlorine or salt.
  2. Allow the fins to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
  3. Store them flat or hang them to prevent creasing or deformation.
  4. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
