Flippers work even if not worn - Sord213 - 08-30-2018
In order to get the underwater speed boost from flippers you don't need to wear them, only hold them. On the flipside they slow you down on dry land when held as well.

This seems to be a thing in general?
I read somewhere that holding a space suit protects you from space, but that one doesn't have the slow drawback. I think people considered it a feature?

The same is true for their negative effect of slowing you outside of water

I'd call it a feature. Not because it's amazing, but because it's persistent enough that it's probably a pain to code out.
Besides, it allows for a lot of dumb stuff which, if relied upon, can easily result in suicide-by-negligence.
