Swim fins kids
In this category, you'll find a wide selection of swim fins for kids. We're confident that we have precisely the swim fins for kids that you're looking for, and perhaps even some that you didn't realize you needed.
Kids adore water, and many fun games start here. Eventually, however, it becomes necessary to learn to swim properly, and some kids may even develop a taste for competitive swimming. To excel, it's crucial to develop the right technique, and that's where swim fins for kids come into their own.
They can significantly improve swimming technique and make learning to swim properly much more enjoyable. And of course, swim fins for kids also need to have the right look. That's why we offer a broad range of different shapes, colours, and functions.
If you have a little water enthusiast at home, you can greatly benefit from equipping them with a pair of swim fins. They make it easier for them to swim in the water for longer periods, experiencing greater speed without using too much energy.
However, it's important to consider that different types of swim fins have their strengths. If your kid loves exploring the seabed with a snorkel and diving mask, then long plastic swim fins are the best choice.
This is because plastic is a harder material than, for example, silicone, providing more propulsion. Similarly, the long fin "moves" more water with each kick, increasing speed.
For kids looking to improve their technique and learn to swim optimally, there are other factors at play.
Swim fins for kids in different lengths and materials have various advantages and disadvantages. It depends on what the kids need them for. Long swim fins with a long fin are best for exploring the seabed at a leisurely pace. For fun and fast swimming in the pool, silicone swim fins with short fins are much better.
Silicone is more flexible, and short fins don't put the same pressure on leg muscles during kicks. Additionally, there are swim fins for kids with a solid heel or a strap. But what's the difference?
Well, fins with a strap offer more mobility around the ankles, which is significant if your child moves their feet a lot when kicking in the water. This provides greater comfort for little swimmers. The downside is that the strap can chafe the ankles, potentially causing sores.
Fins with a solid heel, on the other hand, fits snugly to the feet, reducing the risk of sores but also decreasing mobility and the sense of freedom when kicking in the water.
As already mentioned, the choice of swim fins for kids is not insignificant. It depends entirely on their intended use. The stiffer the swim fins are, the harder it is for leg muscles to move them in water. If worn for extended periods without gentle kicking, it can be tough on little legs.
Moreover, one should also consider the length of the fins and how they are used. In short:
So, if you have a water enthusiast who loves splashing around in the pool and diving for, for example, diving rings, it's best to choose a pair of silicone swim fins with short fins and a heel strap. This offers great mobility, while also not being too taxing on the small legs with varying pace.
Like much other swimming equipment, chlorine and saltwater, and the materials they are made of, aren't the best of friends. At least remember to rinse them with fresh water after use. If you neglect this, you'll find that the materials become stiffer and more brittle, significantly shortening their lifespan.
But maintenance is quite simple. Just rinse them in fresh water after use, and then let them dry by hanging them up - possibly on a drying line. But not in direct sunlight! That has the same effect. It's better to hang them in the shade. Swim fins are generally quite robust, so it takes a lot for them to start "deteriorating".
