Penguins are Flightless Birds.
On land penguins waddle around because of their short legs but in water.......... They are SO fast.
Penguins swim fast because of their stream lined body and their strong flippers. When they swim they are like torpedoes shooting through the water.

∙ 12y agoPenguins have developed into great swimmers because they rely on it to survive. The main source of penguins' diets are from the ocean. They have to be able to not only catch their food, but also swim away from predators. Unlike polar bears, penguins do not have sharp teeth and huge claws to defend themselves, so running away (in this case swimming) from predators is their only option for survival.
