Finswimming

Finswimming differs from swimming in the use of swimfins and other equipment. The equipment used is dictated by the disciplines that the competitor is racing.

These disciplines reflect finswimming's origins and development from SCUBA and snorkelling.

There are four disciplines in international finswimming (in swimming pools) Surface: 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, 4 x 100 relay and 4 x 200 relay (metres) Surface bifins (stereofins): 50, 100 and 200 (metres) Apnea: 50 (metres) Immersion: 100, 400, 800 (metres).
