I am trying to improve my kick to swim better at my next triathlon. Would you recommend zoomers gold or the Z2? I am a ladies size 8 1 /2 to 9.

I'm a Triathlon Coach - I have my Athlete's use both pairs - I coach all women - 30yr TriathleteThis pair you have to "think" more about using your kick - the gold being shorter and stiffer will hold more true to form w/o much user input - roger@rgartman.com

You really need to get both fins. Each has it's place in your training regimen. Here is a you tube that explains it very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjDVakmzHHM

Don't know anything about zoomers golf. I do like the finis fins. They make me kick... Something I don't do

The z03 can be saltwater fished....HOWEVER, I would strongly recommend a huge fresh water shower afterwards. You will notice a change in performance very quickly if you do not keep the salt from sitting...even overnight! Just got back from the coast with 3. Gave them several good baths but still believe I can feel where I did not get the salt out. It's doable, but perhaps not recommended.

I wear an ll man's shoe, and their 'large" size is a really tight fit. you might be ok, a bit loose, they SAY you can fix by wearing a sock. i could not swim any faster with them than with large scuba fins, and I had to work much harder with the aqua fin. I am not, however, training to really swim, just to endure, lose weight, and built leg muscle. If your goals are different, they might work for you.

If you are looking for something to use a lot, I would go to a dive shop and get fit for a mask. I have an older mask that I got at a dive shop that is much more comfortable. The fins were very comfortable, and easy to pack. I would recommend for anyone that wants a set that will easily fit in a suitcase.

Trig: Hi. I also scuba dive and when I do I use my full size fins. I just used these Travel fins again last week on vacation and they worked great for snorkeling. My opinion would be to use full size fins for scuba diving.

Hi Georgia, The pool water in my complex is currently 70-75 degrees but as the weather gets cooler, I will go with a 5mm or probably 7mm. My 5mm triathlon suit keeps me really warm but is much harder to get in and out of and doesn't come up as far on the neck. I do plan on purchasing a 7mm suit from this company soon. So it depends on the temp of the water as well as how toasty you like to be. Another factor is how active you are in the water. I stay in for an hour at a time, lifting neoprene 10 lb hand weights as well as ankle weights- do some swimming but more swimming in the warmer months. If you don't mind the minimal cold seepage when first getting in, you will warm up pretty fast. The thicker the suit, slightly less mobility. The other trick I have found is wearing a hoodie (have 2mm and 3mm) which goes on before your wetsuit and keeps you head much warmer than a bathing cap. Hope that helps!

My husband wears a 12 shoe, however I would imagine you are on the tall size & the men's flipper would work better for your height. We've had great luck with the aqua lungs.

I wear size 7, it is not too small, any larger would be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to balance. Personally, I feel it is better to save up your moey and get a Bosun Ball, that is a dome on one side and fla on the other side, it is much easier to use and learn.

I'm a women's size 10. And I got the large size. I wouldn't go with the small. It will definitely be too tight. Being a woman's size 10, the large size of the sure sport ultra fits perfectly.

I would think that you should pick a medium. I wasn't sure either. Just guessed at the large and it has worked pretty well. If you have the Plantars issue you'll notice a difference after the first night if you are suffering from the pain especially after first getting up. I forgot to mention the Penetrex cream. I put that on the bottom of my foot and heel for a while. It's pretty great stuff. By all means also look at some really high quality running shoes, even if you don't run. Those Asics Nimbus 16 have been the miracle shoe for me. Make sure it has the gel in the sole. They make a few gel sole shoes. Another Asics gel shoe is the Cumulus but the Nimbus is great. You can order those shoes right here at Amazon if you are pretty sure of your shoe siz size. You're local Foot Locker will probably have them too. Put them on as soon as you get up in the morning too. Skip slippers, going barefoot, etc. Just agravates it more. Look on line for some Plantars excercises too. Good luck.

I think the XS would be fine for you. They fit snugly to go under your fins, and I wear a 7 1/2 US and ordered a S and they were fine for me. You don't want any wrinkles in your socks or else you are going to have blisters on your feet!

Yes! This would definitely be a better (and lighter) choice for a triathlon, rather than a wetsuit! Good luck!

Go 1 size up. Speedo is true to size, but TYR runs smaller. I can't speak to chest size, as I'm a 36B but I know these are not made for special breast size. I would recommend not going any other way than a line made for a full chested woman. Just my opinion.

Agree with Dave...if swimming is all you'll use it for, then stick with the swim only. If you ever plan on adding running and biking to your fitness program....this watch is definitely the one to have.

No. A friend of mine is about the same size and he has used it for sprints. I would recommend the narrow since it allows for a greater variety of exercises. Hope this helps.
