An octopus can swim quickly by using a method called jet propulsion. It draws water into its body through a muscular sac and then forcefully expels it through a siphon, propelling itself rapidly in the opposite direction. This allows the octopus to escape predators and navigate its environment effectively. Additionally, their soft bodies and flexible arms help them maneuver swiftly in the water.
