My twin boys have used these flippers for the past two summers. Living in the South, we spend many months swimming and the flippers are still in great condition. They'll outgrow them before they wear out. We like the fact that the back is flexible rubber and comfortable on the foot. Friends kids have tried them out and wanted to know where they could get a pair because they're so much better than the strap on kind. U.S. Divers Sea Lion Jr Fin (Yellow/Blue, Size- 1-3)
Purchased the Aqua Dolfins for my 7 and 8 year old girls. Followed up with purchasing the US Divers fins. Both are very good for their needs (on a swim team practicing laps in a pool). The US Divers fins are two-tone, a little smaller in overall size, and definitely lighter. Presently, the girls are sharing the US Divers fins among them. The US Divers fins look like small adult fins and I think if they had a choice, they would prefer to swim with the US Divers fins. The most important aspect is fit. The girls have not complained about the fit of either brands' fins. Note: In Hawaii, it was difficult locating these US Divers fins for my young daughters. Highly recommneded.
My kids have been begging me for a set of fins since taking swim lessons last summer and getting to wear a pair. These are so nice and soft on their feet and ankles - they have not complained once about the fit or feel the way that I know they would if I'd bought the less pliable variety with the straps. Also, they have a big enough range in sizes that I won't have to replace them immediately, but they still manage to stay on their feet perfectly. The rubber seems extremely durable and yet soft too.
We don't go to the pool without them.
Purchased these for my novice swimmer daughter. This gives her alot of confidence since it makes treading easier and the obvious quick movement. Once she learned she can't walk fast out of the water she was doing tricks and swimming fast across the pool and even getting her underwater stamina and confidence.
These have not only been fun for my son to swim in, but they have improved his swimming. He used to run under the water ha ha...now he understands that keeping his legs straight and kicking up and down with the flippers makes him go so much faster! Even when he is not wearing them he is keeping his legs straight. Inexpensive and fun, all kids love them.
Bought these for our 6 y.o. son and he loves them. They are a little big, but don't fall off when he wears them, so just the right amout of growing room. No rubbing or hot spots, so they are perfect! :)
Joining the crowd. Excellent swimming fins for my child. Rubber material is soft enough(after a pair of plastic ones) to wear them for long time (my son practically does not take them off during the swim session (2 more hours). They fit his little feet well- true to the size. I definitely recommend them and will buy them again as soon as these are outgrown.
My 8 year old grandson loves these fins. They are well made and soft (flexible) enough for pools with liners. He was apprehensive of the water this year and the fins sparked his interest. He can beat his older brother to the opposite side of the pool. The fit was perfect for this year and hopefully next. The boot design is so much better than the straps that break so often. The price was so reasonable that I don't mind having to buy the next size up when needed.
These fins are fantastic! We kept getting the cheap plastic ones that come in a little kit at a department store but they fell apart in two weeks. So I took a chance and ordered these--for almost the same price. They are Awesome! In fact, I accidentally ordered two pair and since she loves them so much, I decided to keep the second set for backup!'
