We use these fins in a swimming pool for fun and racing. They enhance our speed and we swim like fish. Love it! We do have some trouble with the hook between the feet coming unhooked, otherwise, we are happy customers.
This fin was a hit with my daughters (ages 6 &9), and its overall performance was great. The heel strap was easy to adjust. There was some small complaints on the first day of use about uncomfortable rubbing on the tops of their feet. But, it seems to be OK now. I would recommend this product for a beginner.
