मीनपक्ष, तैरने के पक्षदार जूते, फ्लिपर
मीनपक्ष is the term given in Kamil Bulke's Eng-Hindi dictionary for flipper.
It might also be useful to use an explanatory sentence like तैरने के पक्षदार जूते.
The third alternative is use to the term as it is in Hindi - फ्लिपर. However, its plural will not be फ्लिपर्स, but just फ्लिपर. It will also generate फ्लिपरों to indicate plural sense in certain case formations.

तरणक-पाद
I selected this word from English-Hindi dictionary by Dr. Hardev Bahri. Transliteration i.e., फ्लिपर is also fine.

: An interesting term. Wouldn't just तरण-पाद be sufficient?

Thank you Bala Ji. Good suggestion. In the same dictionary I found the word 'swimmeret' which is given in Hindi as -कड़े खोल वाले जल जीवों के तैरने में सहायक पैर, तरणपाद.

: तरणपाद या फ्लिपर दोनों ठीक हैं।

तरणक पाद,
According to your term तरणक पाद is the best option. we can also call it as पैरों में पहनने के तैरने में सहायक रबड़ से बने पट्टे|, but its too long, so the short word is convenient.

चप्पूदार जूते
In fact this can be used but फ्लिपर is better.

तैरने मे सहायक रबड़ के चप्पूनुमा जूते, फ्लिपर्स
I have tried to explain the meaning of the word in short, though it is true that it would be most appropriate to transliterate this word and explain the meaning in the footnote.
