ABSTRACT:
A flipper structure including a web portion and a shoe portion. There is an opening between the web and the shoe so that the two portions are connected at only two points on their sides. The flipper structure allows a wearer to swing the web portion during swimming or diving by manipulating an area of his foot near his ankle instead of using only his toes. This allows the wearer to swim or dive for a prolonged time and to avoid possible cramps and injury.
