POD Swim Fin Savers and Heel Protectors
POD Swim Fin Savers and Heel Protectors - ONE-Strap System
The POD Swim Fin Savers and Heel Protectors address two common problems with swim fin use - bulk at the ankle and fin loss in the surf. A single streamlined webbing strap sits clean between the ankle and the rubber fin strap, reducing the bulk and drag associated with wider webbing systems. Soft neoprene heel pads wrap around the fin strap to prevent chafing, stabilise the heel, and improve retention in moving water.
The ONE-Strap System
The ONE-Strap design uses a single webbing strap rather than multiple straps or plastic hardware. That single strap sits flat and unobtrusive between the ankle and the rubber fin strap, reducing bulk and drag without compromising security. It retrofits easily to most swim fin brands.
- Reduced bulk between the ankle and rubber fin strap
- Less hydrodynamic drag than wider webbing systems
- No plastic hardware or unnecessary fittings
- Retrofits to most major swim fin brands
- Quick and secure to fit
Neoprene Heel Pads - Three Functions
The soft neoprene heel pads wrap around the fin strap and do three specific jobs.
- Chafing prevention - soft neoprene padding between the fin strap and the ankle eliminates friction and rubbing across longer sessions
- Heel stabilisation - fills the space at the heel, stabilises the fin position, and prevents the strap from slipping during movement
- Fin retention - the snug fit reduces the chance of losing a fin in turbulent water, shore break, and heavy surf
