Forgiving Flex. Stitch-Free Fit. Light on the Foot, Easy in the Water.
The POD PF1 Swim Fins and Neoprene Fin Socks work as a two-part fit system. The PF1 is the lightest fin in the PF Series with forgiving flex that reduces joint load across longer sessions. The neoprene socks refine the fit inside the foot pocket, reduce chafing, and add warmth in cooler water. A practical pairing for pool training, open-water swimming, bodysurfing, and bodyboarding.
PF1 POD Swim Fins
The PF1 is the lightest fin in the POD PF Series. Made from natural Malaysian buoyant rubber, it uses a streamlined rail that flows into the blade without vertical top rails. That structure gives the blade more natural flex, making each kick more forgiving and easier to sustain. The symmetrical blade and Splay Rails® support balanced movement and stable, controlled progress through the water. Drainage channels allow quick release of water and sand from the foot pocket.
The PF1 suits pool training, open-water swimming, and ocean use across bodysurfing, bodyboarding, and kneeboarding. For beginners, younger riders, and fitness swimmers, the combination of forgiving flex and low weight makes movement easier to maintain and control.

POD Neoprene Fin Socks
The POD 3mm Neoprene Fin Socks use a registered stitch-free inner arch construction. The inner arch is left smooth rather than stitched, removing the most common source of discomfort associated with standard fin socks. The sock naturally hugs the medial arch of the foot without irritation. Suits feet that sit on the lower end of the fin pocket range, or where added warmth and protection in cooler water is needed.

Using Your Swim Fins
Swim fins work in the water, not on land. To protect the blade and extend the life of the fin, walk or run backwards when wearing them on dry ground rather than walking forward on the blade tips.
