Nature’s Olympics: Why Fishes Swim Fast

Which fish are the fastest and why?


Recent scientific papers have shown that shark and tuna may, in evolutionary terms, have come to the same conclusion about the best way to swim fast. Join the Museum's fish curators Ollie Crimmen and James Maclaine for a crash course in the physiology of speed. Also, hear how research at the Museum has helped in the development of swimsuits that allow Olympic swimmers the chance to go that little bit faster.
