Tyr Split Fins

Product Description

Unlike conventional fins that force the foot to push water in a flat plane, much like an old paddlewheel, the unique split blades slice through the water with two winged surfaces creating lift and forward propulsion much like a propeller. SPLIT FINS operate more efficiently than paddle bladed fins by mimicking a user's natural kicking cadence. This ensures a more even distribution of resistance during the upswing and down thrust motions of the kicking cycle, working both muscle groups equally to help build leg strength and power output.For female size equivalent, size down 1-2 sizes.


  • Unlike conventional fins that force the foot to push water in a flat plane, much like an old paddlewheel, the unique split blades slice through the water with two winged surfaces creating lift and forward propulsion much like a propeller.
  • SplitFins operate more efficiently than 'paddle' bladed fins by mimicking a user's natural kicking cadence.
  • This ensures a more even distribution of resistance during the upswing and down thrust motions of the kicking cycle, working both muscle groups equally to help build leg strength and power output.
  • The SplitFin functions optimally with a tighter, higher frequency kick for maximum performance power and speed training benefit.
  • This type of kick simulates the natural 'turnover' rate an athlete can only achieve at race pace.

4.0 out of 5 stars good for swim training, August 27, 2007

Before buying, you should note that these fins are designed for swim training. Unlike dive fins, which makes your kick more efficient so you can do lazy kicks & still swim as fast, these fins will make you work! The fins have stiff blades & are designed to maintain your normal kick cadence & amplitude. They work your muscles & are supposed to improve your flutter kick so you will swim faster without them. The fins seems to be working as designed. Will I swim faster? Time will tell. BTW - try them with dolphin kicks too.

3.0 out of 5 stars split fins, September 3, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Tyr Split Fins (Misc.)
They look like they are good. Others have used them, but i cannot. If you have wide feet, stay away. Not even with boot goo (used for wake boarding), will these fit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Split fin, January 28, 2007
This review is from: Tyr Split Fins (Misc.)
The fit and comfort are excellent,but I feel they are a little too flexible and tend to fold under if you walk with them while in the water.
This might be part of the design as they are stiffer in the up direction when swimming an are sold as training fins.
