About FINIS:

Founded in 1993 in Northern California, FINIS was started by John Mix and Olympic Gold Medal Swimmer Pablo Morales. The Monofin and the Swimmer’s Snorkel were the first products they developed for the US market; afterwards, they continued to focus on creating training tools for swimmers and coaches worldwide. FINIS products are currently available in over 65 countries and are used by US and International Olympic teams, elite triathletes, and fitness swimmers.

Innovative research and design is FINIS’ highest priority. This dedication has resulted in truly unique products such as: the Swimmer’s Snorkel, which is recognized as the paramount tool to improve a swimmer’s technique, the SwiMP3 that uses bone conduction technology to play music instead of using ear buds, and the Z2 Zoomers fins, which demonstrate an intimate understanding of swimming musculature, hydrodynamics, and engineering.

IST is in the news - Wednesday, July 25, 2012

From our friends and partners at IST:

WZZM13, a local news station here in Grand Rapids, MI did a feature story on IST's Touchpads as part of their Made in Michigan segment. While IST didn't invent the touchpad, we did perfect it. Our touchpads are completely sealed which means no adjusting air pressure. no floating and no water corroding the inside of the pad. The molded bumper edge protects both the pad and swimmer's toes from damage if it gets dropped. Our custom brackets can be made to fit any type of gutter situation. Take a look at our touchpads and see why they're the best!
