ABSTRACT:
Improved swimming efficiency and safety in a water environment is achieved with the use of retractable swim fins having a web-like member rotatably interconnected to a shoe-like member. Latching means secure the web-like member to the shoe-like member in a downward swimming position. Releasing means permit the web-like member to rotate to an upward walking position. Pressure from a swimmer's foot returns and latches the web-like member to the downward position.
