Porpoise Flippers for People

The 'Dol-Fin Tail' Helps You Propel Yourself in Water

— January 26, 2009 — Tech
Swimming is fun, and great exercise, but it’s also hard work. Sometimes I want to glide through the waves fast and easy. With Dol-Fin Tails, you can glide through water like a dolphin. Just strap them on and you’re ready for fun in the lake, ocean, or even your backyard swimming pool. Made of a natural rubber, Dol-Fin Tails have a special, and unique hydrofoil shape that greatly improves your ability to propel yourself forward when you are under water (one of the hardest things to do when swimming.)

The fins fit the feet of people up to a man’s size 11 and are a little less than five pounds, so they are easy to carry around with you, and can be taken practically anywhere! If you want something to make it easier for you to better explore the floor of the ocean, or make it much easier for you to reach the bottom of your swimming location, Dol-Fin Tails are just for you!
