Can you swim in the tail

It's not even a tail, it's material sewn down two sides, it's like a long skirt in the shape of a mermaids tail!

Yes and no. The tail doesn't help you swim or stay afloat and if you're a beginner swimmer it may even impede a novice swimmer. My daughter is a very good swimmer and can wear it in the pool but it doesn't help her swim.

Yes I do! Because of the velcro straps on both sides. I would just make sure to secure it snugly. You may also want them to make it without a hole for the tail if there is no tail at all.

Yes, you can dive off the blocks with the Garmin Swim watch. Most the time it will accurately measure the pool distance if you start taking strokes right after your dive. If you glide far before you begin your stroke it may not measure your lap correctly. Most the time though, it works just fine. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Yes, you are able to swim as long as you don't go six or ten feet underwater.

Hi Alex, try to use the floaty backdoor as well, it will fill up the gap behind the backdoor, always use floaties in water sports.

You could. I don't. I just cruise/ let the dogs pull me. Nice board for the money. I haven't done a drift in 15 years.

I believe that those sizes refer to the swimsuit fabric Mermaid tails that one can purchase to wear over the monofin. I swim with only the Fin itself- it's a lot of fun and a good workout, too!

Yeah sure! But be sure to wear some swim savers so you don't lose them when you hit against a rock

They do not float. That said, I love the fins for swimming laps. Its my second pair

It would be almost impossible unless you were a strong swimmer using swim fins

INTENDED to go in water? Probably not. But I don't think water would HURT it, either. The tail is cloth, it would get wet. But my kiddo would play with it in the bath.

The fin is a little stiff, but it needs to be...you will find yourself using ankle and shin muscles more than you would expect. Once you get the rhythm down (think whale tail ) it becomes more natural. Core muscles get a workout, too, because it is a full-body motion. My 10 year old loves it. The fin is so buoyant, it takes a little practice learning how to swim down to bottom of the pool...sometimes my daughter's feet float up, but she's very lightweight to begin with. Bottom line, little kids can swim with these,no problem...just takes a few tries to get core, legs, ankles coordinated. And then zoom...you can go double the distance on the same breath. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can swim with it according to their instructions. I have not personally.

Not as far as I know...I know.It's very annoying that the tails come off so easily and quickly. Please let me know if you find a replacement so I can get one too:)

Swimming might prove a tad difficult. They are flexible enough for that but it wouldn't be something I would do numerous laps in.

Yes you can swim with it but you can only listen to music underwater if you have waterproof headphones

No, the fins go on the inner circle of your ear, not around the outside of the ear.
