What is Monofin Swimming?

Finswimming is swimming with fins. This can either be bi-fin which uses a double-bladed swim fin or monofin which uses a single-bladed swim fin. Finswimming is a form of speed competition in the SEAGAMES and WORLD GAMES.

With one fin, swimming is much faster than with two. The monofin swimming technique coordinates the entire body into a single swimming muscle affording the swimmer better propulsion and greater speed. The monofin brings people closer to every swimmer's dream - to swim with the dolphins.
