Well, I swam for the first time today in my Dol-fin monofin~ I had a blast swimming around and doing a few tricks in the deep end.
I did a lot better then I thought I would on my back, side and treading water, so I was pleased.
Here are some pictures from my little adventure; ( They are on my facebook as well so it is quite possible you have seen them already!)

I do have to work on holding my breath longer, and work on getting my ears to equalize with deeper water though. However for the first time I have had any sort of fins, I was very happy with myself.
I do admire you guys who have actual tails even more now though!
I do have one question though ; How do you move when you are on your stomach??
I feel like I'm slapping the water with my fin more then I am actually moving. I also float majorly in the shallower water; it's hard for me to get to the bottom of a pool. Any tips to be offered to a newbie?
