swim fins

Rubber foot paddles

Swim fins are rubber or plastic footwear with elongated, flat blades that extend from the toes, worn to increase propulsion through water.

Swimmers, snorkelers, and scuba divers wear them to move faster with less effort.

Also called flippers.

I forgot my swim fins at the hotel.
