Ideal for training sessions, these fins help build muscle and improve kicking technique.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of using short training fins?
Short training fins like these are designed to increase water resistance, which helps build leg muscle strength and improve ankle flexibility, leading to a more powerful and efficient kick.
How do these fins help with swimming technique?
The short fin design encourages a greater range of motion in the ankle and promotes a correct kicking action by providing resistance that helps develop a stronger, more controlled movement.
What material are the Maru Training Fins made from?
They are manufactured from high-grade soft silicone, which ensures a comfortable fit and durability.
Are these fins suitable for all types of swimming?
These fins are primarily designed for training to improve strength and technique. While they can help maintain a quicker pace, they are not typically intended for competitive racing.
How should I care for my Maru Training Fins?
Rinse them with fresh water after each use, allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight, and store them flat to maintain their shape.
What does the UK 1-2 size refer to?
This size designation refers to a children's UK shoe size range, typically suitable for younger swimmers or individuals with smaller feet.
Can these fins help improve my body position in the water?
Yes, by strengthening the legs and improving kicking efficiency, the fins can indirectly help swimmers achieve a more streamlined and balanced body position.
Troubleshooting
Fins feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure feet are clean and dry before insertion. If the fit remains uncomfortable, the size may not be appropriate. Try a different size if available.
Fins slip off during use
Check that the heel strap is properly seated. Ensure the silicone material is clean and free from any lotions or pool residue that could make the foot slippery. The fins should offer a snug fit.
Material seems stiff or less flexible than expected
Ensure the fins have been properly rinsed with fresh water after use, as chlorine or salt can affect the silicone over time. Store them as recommended to maintain flexibility.
