I have some fins you can have for nowt - Tusa something-or-others. Very soft fin, white, lightweight. I got size 4-5 feet and am five foot two if that helps. Gimme 10 mins and i will dig them out and take a pic.

Atomics are expensive but extremely powerful fins - about £100 a pair but they'd most likely make the most of her muscle strength...

If those don't work try and borrow some Force Fins. They are too pricey to buy before you try but I have skiers/rugby players knees and find them very good. They are a bit like Marmite though. Its a love hate thing.
