Monofins shapes and stiffness

Today I have realized that my bigger softer monofin works better than slightly smaller "extra stiff" one. Does performance depend more on size than on stiffness? I should probably study this subject.

New Anton's results

25m : 21.2s
50m : 50.5s

Although he starts much better now, I think further training here will give some benefits.
Exercises for leg muscles will improve stroke strength, so focus on this.

Anton's progress

Latest Anton's results:

25m : 22s
50m : 56s

Things to improve for him:
* Start time. It takes quite long for him to start going. Once this is improved it can take 1-2s from his results.
* Arms position. When this is improved, it can take 1s per 25m from his result.
Good progress!

50m for less than 23s

Nothing else to say really. This is my best result since I've resumed training

Anton's 50m using monofin

Yesterday, I've asked my son to swim 50m using monofin for a time. He managed to make it in 58s. I guess this is a good time for 7yo child who just started using monofin and still can't do proper turns (we did this exercise in 25m pool).

25m apnea for less than 10 seconds

Yesterday my son wasn't able to attend the session, so I used it for myself. I made first achievement: 25 apnea for less then 10 seconds.

Finswimming in the UK

Finswimming in Esporta and Anton's first finswimming session

I have signed up for membership with Esporta. This will allow me to train more often for less money. also the club is next door to my office, so I can enjoy lunchtime training sessions. Also, this gives me an opportunity to train my 7yo son into finswimming on the sessions which I've booked a lane for in the leisure centre. I've taken Anton for this session for the first time and I was really impressed with him. Apart of this I've done 50m in 23s
