FINIS Fishtail 2 Swim Fins for Toddlers & Kids - Builds Water Confidence - Soft Rubber Fit - Float Assist - Jr Size 6-11

As one of California’s top private swim instructors, I’ve guided thousands of children—but the FINIS Fishtail 2 Swim Fins consistently stand out as the MVP of my teaching toolkit.Purchased over a dozen times, these fins aren’t just swim gear—they’re confidence builders.What makes them exceptional:• ✅ Boosts Water ConfidenceThe fishtail blade rewards even the smallest kicks with forward motion—accelerating learning and making water play feel magical.• ✅ Promotes Proper Kick TechniqueDesigned to encourage hip-driven kicks and discourage bicycle kicks, these fins lay the foundation for efficient, lifelong swimming skills.• ✅ Builds Leg Strength GentlyNatural rubber adds just enough resistance to strengthen muscles without fatigue—perfect for early development.• ✅ Easy Fit & Secure GripWith adjustable heel snaps and a soft, natural rubber build, these fins fit snugly on wiggly little ones—even infants as young as one year old. The fishtail design still delivers that rewarding forward propulsion on tiny kicks.• ✅ Comfort + Safety ComboThe open heel and toe allow freedom of movement, increase range of motion, and provide gentle flotation assistance—crucial for positive early swim experiences.I’ve successfully used these fins with students as young as 9 months—and yes, even one-year-olds—with attentive supervision. The results speak for themselves: less hesitation, more enthusiasm, proper posture, and dramatically faster progress.Final verdict:Every serious swim coach and proactive parent should have a pair of these. They deliver durability, developmental benefits, and joy in the water that money can’t replace.I also share videos of these fins in action with my little swimmers on Instagram at @swimguru — feel free to check them out!

Best fins ever! They stay on my 3-year old as long as I fastened them tight enough, and he can zip around in them. Apparently the fins are good to teach them that their kick gets them propulsion, and it helps teach them the proper kick (rather than a “bicycle kick”). I do try to take them off toward the end of our swimming so he knows what it feels like without them too. I like that these fins are solid, heavy duty, and look like they’re built to last. Because they’re adjustable, he should be able to use them for awhile!

My kids tried these fins at a friend's house and LOVED them. So obviously we came home and ordered them each a pair.I like that they are adjustable so they are usable for multiple aged kids. They are highly quality and easy to use. Our 2 year old and 5 year old use them daily in our pool. Very pleased with this purchase.

I teach a lot of students and this is a perfect fin because children change their sizes quickly and often. If you got a learner, especially with legs that need to be strengthened in the water. This is a perfect teaching tool.

Our 5 year old grandson loves them. He easily puts them on him self and takes off across the pool.

This is the first pair of flippers I got for my kids, so no reference point as to what others do/have.My 3 year old had a conniption fit because she saw a kid at a pool wearing flippers. After researching using my best judgment and price point, I settled for these.Comfy, enough room to grow/adjustable, sturdy, light enough for a 3 year old to manage independently. They work well in the water. We are using them in a pool, and it worked out great for the current “mermaid” phase.

We love these for our toddler with growing feet. They're upside down from a traditional flipper - the toe hole goes on the underside - so its a little confusing at first. The flippers are great for getting a beginning swimmer to elongate their legs while learning to swim. Definitely recommend these.

Very nice product!
