Main Highlights

• 
  Easier to Kick and Less FatigueShort fins are best for most snorkelers becasue theyre easier on your leg muscles. You dont need as much power with each stroke, and each stroke will be shorter relative to using longer fins. Even though short fins generate less thrust, speed shouldnt be a top priority for most snorkelers. You`ll be chilling at the surface most of the time, not swimming long distances through strong currents.
• 
  Easy to Practice With in a PoolMany casual snorkelers will be accustomed to a swimming flutter kick, which requires short and fast strokes. That means kicking with a short fin will feel more familiar, and thus easier to get used to.In fact, short fins are a great way to train your legs for the flutter kick and are routinely used by swimmers for this purpose.
• 
  Easier to Travel WithTraveling by air is much more of a hassle than it used to be. Many airlines now have increased restrictions on baggage size and weight.Short fins under 25inches are much easier to travel with as a result.
• 
  Less Likely to Accidentally Kick Coral, Sea Life, and Other SnorkelersBeginners can be clumsy with their feet while learning to kick. New snorkelers and divers, however, will find it much easier to maneuver in short fins. That means a short fin will decrease your chances of kicking coral, wildlife, and even your fellow snorkelers!
