FINS FAQ

You are neither a giant nor particularly strong?
Then you can order the TS Classic II without any problems.

For whom is the Classic III variant best suited?
The Classic III variant is often used by tall and powerful athletes. Especially if someone opts for wider fins, these fins are more advisable, since the edges of the two fins are always a little further apart when swimming than with the TS Classic II variant due to the shape of the blade.

The Classic II & III variants are identical as far as the foot part is concerned. They only differ in the shape of the fin blade. The fin blade of the TS-Classic III is slightly more V-shaped.

What is the most important thing when it comes to fins?
-
Note that, unlike street shoes, the fins have to be really tight. To avoid pressure points and to ensure an optimal fit, it is advisable to swim the fins with fin socks.
- It is best to protect your fins with a light-protected fin bag.
- The Wetiz guarantee does NOT cover damage to the fin blade.

Lifesaving Approval: The fin is approved for all International Lifesaving Federation competitions.

Some tips and notes about the fins

Maintenance
The fins should always be rinsed with fresh water after use. (No chlorine or salt water and also no soap!) It is best to store it in a dark room or in a bag protected from light (because of the rubber parts). If you take a break from training for several months, it would be advantageous to powder the rubber parts with talcum powder.

Hints
Unfortunately, fins with damage to the front blade area have often been the subject of complaints. This can be attributed to pools that have a "water level" pool edge.

When turning, the tips of the fins hit the starting block at certain points and thus receive an impact that puts an enormous strain on the GRP. Therefore, when using the turning technique, care should be taken to ensure that the turn is either initiated further to the side (so that there is no obstacle for the swinging fin) or that the turn is applied more gently to the edge of the pool.

The width of the fin blade can vary by a few millimeters due to production.

Tip
The use of fin socks would be particularly advisable for narrow feet.
However, in order to achieve a good fit, especially in competition, it is advisable to use booties with all models.

The different fin models
With the TS-Classic II, the foot part still extends to the middle of the fin blade and gives the blade a little more hardness in the middle area. The blade is also rectangular in shape and boasts a parabolic bend.

The TS-Classic III variant corresponds to the TS-Classic II in terms of the foot part, with the v-shape being worked out!

This variant is often used by tall and strong athletes. Especially if someone opts for wider fins, these fins are more advisable as the blade shape allows the edges to keep a distance a bit better.

The Wetiz TS-Classic Carbon fin is made of high-quality carbon. The fin blade is made in a sandwich construction (carbon-fiberglass-carbon). The TS Classic Carbon is perfectly suited for all those competitive swimmers who are looking for a high-quality and reasonably priced competition fin.

The blades of the TS-Bent fins, like the TS-Classic, are manufactured using a complex laying and pressing technique. Thus, these blades can also be made with the 20-degree bend, which is intended to support the natural angulation of the foot when swimming in the prone position and therefore allows swimming with even more strength from the muscles on the underside of the thighs.

This fin is particularly popular in the 100 m Lifesaver discipline, since no roll turns are made here either!  This fin is available with a single layer of fiberglass or with unidirectional carbon, which would then be the TS-Bent Carbon.

There are generally few swimmers who classify this fin as faster with the TS-Bent variant. The majority of users opt for the Classic variants. Only swimmers with a less flexible ankle have discovered certain advantages with the angled variant!

If the Bent variants are chosen, a slightly harder variant than the comparable Classic model is recommended!

Allowed dimensions
The fins may be a maximum of 30 x 65 cm.

Delivery times
Depending on the demand, the production time is approx. 5 - 7 weeks.

But without a firm guarantee, since there is sometimes little demand (then less than 5 weeks) or the ordered fins are in stock, then a maximum of 1 week.

About the size of the fins
It's difficult to generalize, there are all kinds of feet: high instep, wide feet, flat feet, narrow feet...
However, one should not get in in fins without certain difficulties!
In order for the fins to fit well, they must also be tight! Therefore, it is appropriate to use the measurement table as a guide (possibly a little larger for a high or wide foot - a little smaller for a very narrow foot). 

About the strength and width of the fins
You can also order the fins in extra hard, but it should be noted that a maximum of 8% of the fins that are sold are in hard at all. The absolute majority ordered medium and about 20% soft. Hard fins are rarely swum longer than 50 m. With a 100 m distance - especially then still dragging with dolls - experience has shown that the legs become too acidic in the last 20-30 m.

The fins should also not be ordered too wide. If the swimmer's fins are too wide, the movement of the legs will cause the upper body to become restless and thus slow down progress.

Girls: Generally, girls tend to prefer 9" wide leaves and a soft strength, but there's no hard and fast rule! One would have to pay a little more attention to her leg technique and whether the swimmer is rather petite or rather strong (muscular). From this one can rather derive a medium or a soft blade.

Boys: Due to the position of their hips and their leg muscles, boys tend to have slightly wider fins (25 cm/26 cm). The hardness is also usually a little more in the medium range (at least for 100 m distances). It may also be a little softer for 200 m Superlifesaver or use in "open water" or it is hard if the fins are to be used for 50 m distances or the athlete has good/strong leg muscles.

In general, it should be noted that when testing the fins (by club mates or at test events) you should always swim on the actual competition course, because harder fins are faster in the first 50 m, but then have such a tiring effect on the legs that the strength at the end is no longer sufficient to keep the time gained! 

Repair
- If the heel reinforcement is loose: place rubber on rubber, use vulcanizing adhesive (as with bicycle inner tubes), sand down, apply adhesive, allow to dry for 10 minutes, then press together firmly!

- For small cracks in the rubber: sand, apply glue (vulcanizing glue), let it dry for 5-10 minutes, then press the bike patch firmly on it, done!- Rubber on GRP (edge ​​protection on the fin blade and foot part on the fin blade): Use superglue (e.g. Loctide 406 (cat no. 40620) or Delo-Ca - These are available in well-stocked hardware stores or specialist crafts stores; the ingredient “cyanoacrylate” is important).

- If there are tears in the sheet: drill a small hole (if possible) at the end of the tear and place a piece of textile tape or a waterproof sticker over it. (It has not proven itself to repair the area with fiberglass, as the area will break open again because it is much stronger than the rest of the sheet!) For tears up to 4 cm, the variant with the sticker has proven itself well so far . This damage (of course only in the front third of the fin) does not impair the speed noticeably!
