Equipment recommendation (fins/paddles) for a beginner/intermediate swimmer (lemmy.cat)

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for new ways to spice up my training and I think it's time to add some fins/paddle drills to my workouts. I've been looking some speedo/arena/finis/tyr/aquasphere equipment but I'm a bit confused with all the different types of gear that seem to exist.

Regarding fins, which length would you recommend? I think shorter fins are preferred (I'd use them for kicking and underwater drills), but I'm not really sure.. any recommendations/brand for a beginner/intermediate swimmer, please?

Regarding paddles, there seem to be quite a lot of different variables to take into account. Should I go for smaller paddles first? There also seem to be many shapes and types of grip (finger, wrist straps..). Any recommendations/brand for a beginner/intermediate swimmer, please?

Enlighten me, moist people of the fediverse!

How much are you all swimming a week? (lemmy.world)

I'm doing this by way of introduction. I do about 10-12 km a week on average
