A standard monofin for competitive finswimming and open-water freediving use comes with a hard blade that may cause injury to others if it is used for swim training in a pool with many swimmers present. An all-rubber monofin has a softer blade that is less likely to cause injury to others. It may therefore be safer for swimming pool workouts as well as being easier on the feet of younger or less experienced swimmers.
