The Aqua Sphere Zip Fin eliminates ankle fatigue for fitness swimmers, allowing for a full-leg workout that can be sustained over longer periods of time for maximum and efficient aerobic benefit. They are also ideal to complement your swim drill sessions as they provide a little extra propulsion so you can completely concentrate on your drill technique.

The unique blade features specially engineered side rails, strategically aligned flex channels, and hydrodynamic stiffening battons that combine to make the Zip Fin the most comfortable and efficient fitness fin on the market.

The split blades, which act like propellers, twist independently during each stroke to a precise angle of attack that creates lift and thrust. The Zip Fin features an open heel adjustable ankle strap.

Go on grab a bargin, I have!!

If any of you are looking at purchasing a new triathlon wetsuit then now could be one of the best times to do so. Don’t necessarily wait until it’s time for open water swimming to buy one as you may be paying top price for a very similar suit you could have bought the end of the previous season. Many of the online stores are now listing some excellent end of summer/season deals on 2008 wetsuits. I’ve only listed a few offers which are below the £150 mark as I feel this is the kind of price most first time open water triathletes would look towards. There are however, a vast number of other suits available up to about £350. Don’t forget that you can also buy a selection of the ex-hire wetsuits from a number of the larger stores.
