Gintenco Swim Fins for Lap Swimming, Travel Size Flippers with Mesh Bag

Gintenco Water Sports was founded by a passionate couple who shared a love for the ocean. Their journey began with manufacturing swimming equipment for their children, which eventually led them to create a range of snorkeling products such as kids snorkel sets, kids snorkel masks, and swim fins.

What sets our products apart is our design team, composed of avid snorkeling enthusiasts who understand the specific needs of fellow enthusiasts. We have always prioritized features such as folding design, dry top system design, and anti-leak and anti-fog design for snorkeling products. Additionally, each product undergoes rigorous N+1 self-tests before being released into the market.

Moving on to our product description, our short blade design promotes faster and more efficient mechanics, forcing the legs to work harder and improving kicking performance over time. The foot pocket is made of premium soft silicone materials to provide a comfortable fit and prevent blisters. These fins are perfect for lap swimming as they help conserve energy. They are also easier on the leg muscles, requiring less power with each stroke compared to longer fins. While short fins generate less thrust, the speed is not usually a priority for most snorkelers who spend most of their time floating near the surface rather than swimming long distances against strong currents.

Short fins are also ideal for practicing in a pool. Many casual snorkelers are used to a swimming flutter kick, which involves short and fast strokes. Therefore, using short fins will feel more familiar and easier to adapt to. They are commonly used by swimmers to train their legs for the flutter kick.

In terms of travel convenience, short fins under 25 inches are much easier to travel with due to increased restrictions on baggage size and weight imposed by airlines. Their compact size makes them a practical choice for snorkelers on the go.

Furthermore, beginners often struggle with their foot movements and may accidentally kick coral, sea life, or other snorkelers while learning. Short fins offer better maneuverability, reducing the chances of such accidents occurring and allowing for a smoother snorkeling experience.

When choosing the right fins, comfort is key. A blade that is too stiff can lead to foot and leg cramps, regardless of the fit. Our flippers feature flexible materials to enhance your overall experience. Ensuring a snug fit will also minimize chafing and slipping around the ankle. Optionally, you can use fin socks for added comfort, insulation, or if you are between sizes.
