@@lucaschew7621 cheers Lucas! Would love to see vlogs of your fin-swimming comps!

@@NicholasPHatton not surprised - he is clutch. How did you race at inter-counties?

Yeah, that was a close one!

@@jonathangiles4854 Thank you! Its one of my local 50m pools so end up there all the time - way less glam than nationals & a way less busy swim down pool 🤣

@@Justanaverageswimmer you know it

@@JIngramSwimming Cheers buddy - 100 fly is harder than I thought 🤣

Cheers P

@@Parrryy cheers Parry!

@@damo6794 thanks Damo!

I for sure can help, a couple of things that would help me advise more specifically: 1. Do you plan to use the fins for a) 100 tow, 100 carry and 200 super or b) just tow and carry? 2. What time would/can you do (approximately) for 50 with fins? 3. Do you do underwater for most of the length on 100 carry (first length) or do you do freestyle?

@@Slawswims 1. I plan to use them for all events 2. I am approximately a 25 for a LC 50m with fins 3. I race my 100 Carry with about 25m underwater and 15m freestyle before diving back down for the transition

@@runningbaconman9598 Brilliant! Apologies for the slow reply, I've only just seen your comment. There are lots of options fins wise. The 2 bigs ones are Star fins and waterway speed fins. I also use speed fins.net but this is exclusively for super fins. Both come in in carbon or composite. Carbon is preferred - they seem to flex more. Star fins, you will need to email Alex, you can find this on his website. He will send you an excel document to fill in. I wear these fins to this day. The build quality is the best but you are looking at around £500-550 plus shipping. Waterway speed fins are a little easier and can be ordered directly using drop down menus on freedivershop, waterway fins.eu & finswimworld - they are all owned by the same person (Bogdan), unsure why he has 3 websites... these are slightly cheaper than Star and are still a very good option (the majority of UK lifesaving use these fins). Both are looking at around 8 weeks delivery time so be prepared for this, both make their fins in Ukraine so there are delays due to the war. They will arrive but will take a while. Picking what you want... you will need the following measurement before you buy: foot length, foot width. stand on a piece of paper and draw round both feet, be accurate when doing this, you may need help. Round both of these down to the nearest 5cm. Stiffness: without seeing a video of you kicking, your build and that you want them for super, I would say to go for medium - especially if you haven't had rockets before. Distance: Make sure you hit the '200m super Lifesaver, it will give you a slightly extended back strap so you can get them on easier in super. Blade width and total blade length: Width, I would not go wider than 26 (I advise 25cm) - if you go any wider, you may end up kicking your fins on flutter kick. Total blade length - 65cm. Colour is completely up to you!! Let me know if you need anything else!

Hi Donna, I recommend the Maurten Bicarb system - it’s expensive, but makes the whole process easier. If you google it, go on their website then put weight/sex etc in and it gives you which amount is best for you. Instead of drinking it like normal bicarb, you eat it like a yoghurt. I would recommend for events 100m+ & to only use once per day as it can have adverse side effects if you do too much within a 12 hour period 😅🤣

I agree

Appreciate it!

Thank you Cesar, I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏼🤝

Thank you for your kind words - it means a lot!

Appreciate it Lucas - keep up the good work on your end!

Thanks, really appreciate it!

Thankd Katherine! Hope to see you at a comp soon - I’ve passed on your message 😁

I genuinely didn’t know how to pace it. 1.52 is the goal 🤣🤩

@@Slawswims Need any help i'm always here, I know you're not very good at this whole above 100 stuff ;)

Cheers buddy! 2 more races before the new year!! Hopefully I have more in the tank

What region/county are you based? I’ll be able to direct you if you let me know a vague area 😁 There is loads of club across the country!

Thanks for the reply :) I’m South East area

@@Angreyelmo there is a few clubs close to you that have competitive speed teams. Beacon LSC based in Crowborough, Crawley Town LSC & Brighton LSC. All can be found on instagram & contactable via there. Let me know if you need other help!

Think his pick up secured the change of hands! Wish you were commentating this comp too

Didn’t have the video and didn’t get that W 🤣🤷🏽‍♂️ Surfs, we go again
