2014 LUNOCET |

Quote from Foot-Fins Allow Humans to Leap Dolphin-Like From the Water | Gadget Lab | Wired.com
The Lunocet is a hydrofoil for your feet, a kind of swishing fishtail that will propel you through the water like Aquaman.
The device clamps on to the feet, which are kept together, and when you kick, the tail flexes. Instead of just relying on your legs to push the water out of the way and thereby provide propulsion, the Lunocet acts more like an airplane wing and actually provides an airfoil-style “lift” which pushes you along.
This carbon-fiber and silicone toy is fast, too. In top gear (there are six speeds, adjustable while you swim) a strong swimmer should be able to leap from the water and clear the surface. That sounds awesome. Just how fast is it? According to the “LunoFAQS”, you can hit 8 mph. That’s almost double the speed of Michael Phelps at full tilt.

Hmmm...... well I never fear being near a shark, because I do not look like anything they would eat, now you want me to put a dolphins tail on my feet and swim like a dolphin.... no thanks I will stick to swimming like a box of rocks. now for a lake I am in, looks like great fun.

I’m real skeptical about both these claims.

Likely if you have legs like Arrrnold!
