Churchill Swimfins
Inspired by Tahitian craft, innovated for Navy missions, and perfected for bodyboarding - a timeless choice for champions worldwide
In 1940, inspired by Tahitian boys who used rubber and metal bands shaped like a fish tail to create swim fins, Owen Churchill designed and patented the first Churchill® Swimfins. Despite initial slow sales due to low popularity of skin-diving in America, the US Navy soon recognized the potential of these fins for their underwater missions. Churchill upgraded the design by using vulcanized rubber, enhancing the fins' quality.
​
The turning point came in 1971 with the introduction of bodyboarding. Suddenly, Churchill® Swimfins were thrust into the spotlight, becoming a favorite among both professional and novice riders for their thrust and performance. Though the shape remained unchanged, vibrant color schemes, like the iconic blue & yellow and black & yellow, added an aesthetic appeal that further propelled their popularity. Churchill trademarked these renowned colors in 1994.
​
Today, Churchill® Swimfins maintain their reputation as the world's best-selling fins, continually tested and improved upon, symbolizing an enduring legacy of innovation and quality.
