This is a great set to do with fins! The focus of this set is not on the 500s, though. It’s on the 100s with kicking. We spend far too much time and effort working our arms, shoulders and upper bodies during longer distance swims. This set highlights the value of your kick during distance races. Your kick provides lift to help lift your lower body and enhance your streamline, propulsion to help you move through the water, and it helps to provide better side to side balance, again enhancing body alignment.
