French company Seabike has developed a swimming device that uses your own leg power to accelerate you through the water at superhuman speeds. This crank-driven pusher prop looks a bit like an underwater unicycle... We'd love to take one for a spin!

    They don’t discuss specific speeds, but this is from the last paragraph:

    This jigger, according to the manufacturers, makes you handily quicker than an equivalent swimmer with fins on.

      I’m very skeptical about that. It’s an expensive augmented swimming device that says it’s faster than fins but doesn’t prove it with stats or even just a side-by-side video…?
