Turtles that live in the sea face challenges that are very different from terrestrial turtles, they have adaptations that allow them to swim, breathe, and find their way during long dives or lengthy swims across the ocean:
- Sea turtles are strong swimmers. The cruising speed for green sea turtles is about 1.5 to 2.3 kph (0.9-1.4 mph). Leatherbacks have been recorded at speeds of 1.5 to 9.3 kph (0.9-5.8 mph).
- Forelimbs are modified into long, paddle-like flippers for swimming.
- Neck and limbs are nonretractile. The shell adaptations necessary for retractile limbs would impede rapid swimming.

How do successful adaptations improve an organism's fitness?
An organisms fitness is it's ability to survive and reproduce. Adaptations help an organism do so. According to Darwin, natural selection plays a big part in the adaptations that help an animal survive. Natural selection is basically "the best qualities win and reproduce". Over time, the qualities that survived become adaptations, shaping themselves to the changing environment. Because the best qualities lead to successful adaptations, the "favorable" organism will survive and reproduce, increasing its fitness.
