A Note from Misty about the 75yd Monofin Race

You may bring your own monofin or FINIS will provide an assortment of sample FINIS Foil Monofins that you may use for the race. They will be located near the warm up and warm down pool in advance of the race if you would like to try them on for size. They will be shared by all participants, so please leave them by the pool after you have tried them. They will be brought to the starting end prior to the race. THANK YOU FINIS!
You may start from the blocks. Although, it is not necessary. The starter will give the option of starting from the side or in the water. We recommend that you sit on the block to put the monofin on. A standard dive is possible with the blade of the fin hanging over the front of the block and both feet at the edge of the block. The rules are basically the same as freestyle. You may do whatever you would like with your arms and legs provided that you touch the wall and do not touch the bottom. So, flipturns are permitted.There is no 15meter limit to staying underwater. You may stay underwater as long as you would like, because this is Misty’s meet! You may bring your own monofin. There are currently no regulations on size or shape of fin, only that it must be a single bladed fin with both feet connected together.
