I was born pidgeon-toed and had casts put on my feet in hopes of correcting the problem. The casts were ineffective and I've lived my life so far with turned-in feet. It's never been much of a handicap except the occasional tripping over myself. Now I have gotten into dynamic apnea (horizontal breath-hold swimming) and it has become an issue. The most efficient kick to use without fins is the frog kick and because my feet are naturally turned-in, it is extremely difficult to turn them out to do the kick properly. I'd like to figure out how to get around this without abandoning the no-fins approach to the sport.
Do you think that by using fins to do the frog kick over several years that the fins could act as the casts I once had and eventually correct the problem by gradually turning my bones outward as they should be?
