No one is going to tell you jet fins if you have a weak kick, but since you said you lap swim maybe... it depends on your trim. I am petite but I had floaty feet and jet fins were a revelation, solved my trim problems, gave incredible precision, and the “medium” size that fits my wonen’s Size 8, European 38, foot in a bootie, are really shorter than most scuba fins, so for me they pack well. I like swimming laps in them. They are heavy so you flutter slower, but they really shine in frog and dolphin. They give you momentum. At first they can cramp your feet a bit, but then they break in, and your legs get incredibly strong. If you put them together and dolphin kick they act like a powerful monofin. Helicopter and back kicks are easy. They are amazing. A design still going strong after 50+ years.
