Swim fin assembly

A swim fin assembly comprising:

• a sleeve adapted to be worn around a lower leg while swimming, the sleeve having an inner surface, an outer surface and a peripheral edge extending therebetween, the peripheral edge having a first side and a second side, the sleeve being being adapted to be wrapped around the lower leg with the inner surface being adapted to abut the lower leg having the outer surface being exposed, and having the first side being spaced from the second side;
• a first mating member being coupled to the sleeve, the first mating member being coextensive with the first side;
• a second mating member being coupled to the sleeve, the second mating member being coextensive with the second side, the second mating member releasably engaged to the first mating member wherein the sleeve is adapted to be wrapped around the lower leg such that the sleeve is adapted to form a closed loop around the lower leg;
• a plurality of connection points, each of the connection points being coupled to the outer surface of the sleeve, the connection points being spaced apart from each other and being distributed on the outer surface;
• a plurality of fins, each of the fins being hingedly coupled to the sleeve, each of the fins being urged into a deployed position pivoting in a direction away from said sleeve when said sleeve is moved such that the fins are configured to have water urging said fin away from said sleeve, each of the fins being urged into a stored position pivoting back towards said sleeve when said sleeve is moved such that said fins are configured to have the water urging said fin towards said sleeve, each of the fins having a bottom surface and an outer edge, the outer edge of each of the fins pivotally engaging a respective one of the connection points, the bottom surface of each of the fins lying on the outer surface of the sleeve when the fins are in the stored position, the bottom surface of each of the fins being spaced from the outer surface of the sleeve when the fins are in the deployed position;
• and
• wherein said fins are arranged on said sleeve into three pairs, said pairs being positioned in alignment on respective sides of said sleeve such that each of said pairs of said fins is configured to be positioned along a shin, a calf, and an outside of the lower leg respectively.
