Fin-Swimming is the progression of a swimmer using monofins or normal swimfins (called bifins or stereofins within the sport) either on the water surface or underwater, using only muscle strength. It is a discipline of underwater sports. The competition distances are same as for swimming (as described below). Continental and World Championships are organized by CMAS. Finswimming differs from swimming in the use of swimfins and other equipment. The equipment used is dictated by the disciplines that the competitor is racing. These disciplines reflect finswimming's origins and development from SCUBA and snorkelling.
