Set of the Week is courtesy of FINIS, a SwimSwam partner.
This week’s set comes from Becca Wyant, FINIS Creative Manager and Photographer, a Master’s Swimmer and former swimmer at the University of the Pacific.
This set is all about mastering your underwaters (aka: the 5th stroke)! Primarily used with the Evo, quick-tempo monofin, we’re going to focus on speed and power to maximize the time underwater. Who needs to breathe anyway?
