We continue to break new ground as the 75 free with fins evolves before our eyes. This evolution is courtesy of Andrew Zhang from Northwestern, who threw down a 27.7 to become the first person under 28 seconds that we’ve seen so far.
Check out the list of other impressive 75s below:
- Dean Farris Pushes a 28.7 75 free with fins in practice
- Brooks Curry fires back, posts 28.6 75 free with fins
- DII Record-holder Karol Ostrowski Blasts 28.6 75 free with fins
- Marko Kovacic of Utah clocks monster 28.1 75 free with fins
- IU’s Steele Swims 28.2 75 with Fins Backstroke, VT’s Ramadan 28.4 Butterfly
It would be interesting to have the people doing the Brett Hawke 50 LCM kick challenge to this challenge and vice versa. Granted a lot of them don’t have access to a 25 y pool.
@Coleman Hodges NU breakfast and pancakes next?
@Coleman the door is always open!
Give Coleman Stewart fins and let him do this (Lochte the dolphin kicks!)
Or even better let why bother with the 15m rule with fins?
Let’s add a start (it would have to be old school style) instead of a push
This can still be a whole lot faster, the fastest ever 100m in a 50m pool with fins is 31.24 (no breaking the surface).
Might as welll push this to the limit

I hear this will be in the 2028 Olympics
It actually can be a trial sport at some point. There have been world finswimming championships for over 20 years. The current mens records (LCM) for the 50/100/200/400/80/1500 are 15.00/33.87/1:18.65/2:55.57/6:16.24/12:09.74, I kinda like the immersive event with the tanks. It reminds me of arena football.
Big Paddle’s market share is nose diving
Those guys who decided to short fins this week are kicking themselves
