Pufferfish are relatively slow swimmers, typically reaching speeds of around 1 to 3 miles per hour (1.6 to 4.8 kilometers per hour). They rely more on their ability to inflate and their toxic defense mechanisms to deter predators rather than speed. Their unique body structure and swimming style contribute to their slower pace in the water.
