70% lighter than the traditional swim fins, the Alpha Fin Pro was designed to mimic a swimmers natural competitive kicking tempo with an asymmetrical short blade design.
• Asymmetrical design provides natural kicking motion
• 70% lighter than traditional rubber swim fins, providing comfort and improved body positioning
• Short blade mimics race pace kicking tempo
• Rigid EVA foam construction ensures enhanced propulsion
"A lot of the fins out there today are flat and swimmers learn to kick with their feet apart, which isn't a very natural motion. I'm very pleased with these fins because they're shaped in a way that you can kick the way you're going to when you're swimming." - Coach Bob Bowman

"I can see 2 or 3 lanes over. I've never worn another goggle like it."
- Michael Phelps
“With these goggles, we took it to the next level. Elite performers will want to wear it, particularly due to the curvature and the range of vision. You’re getting almost 180-degree vision, which is really important when you’re racing. You want to have that peripheral sight. And the clarity of it - because of the patented curved lens design--is better than anything I’ve ever seen.”
- Coach Bob Bowman
