These would rip to have


Foot-Fins strap on to your feet and act like highly efficient flippers. When you kick, they flex and propel you through the water using an aerofoil (or in this case an aquafoil), in much the same way that planes travel through the air. They're carbon-fibre, so you won't break them in a hurry. There are six gears, and you can change them while you swim. In the highest gear, the official site suggests that you can hit 8mph - twice the speed at which slow-ass Phelpsy swims at. So fast, in fact, that a strong swimmer should be able to leap out of the water entirely.

Cost to be a dolphin; $1250
