    I can’t tell how fast it is, is there a comparison of someone using this vs. a regular swimmer?

        I’d still go with the flippers. The sacrifice to articulation seems like a deal breaker.

        I don’t really have a good gauge of how fast you can typically go with swim slippers though. Comparing to a person swimming without any aides would be much more useful for getting an idea of what “superhuman speed” means.

          If an average joe with an hour of practice could match or outpace Michael Phelps, I would consider that superhuman speed.

      Some videos in the article show a guy cruising while barely using his arms, and then SCUBA divers only pedaling with their feet but they were pedaling slower
