sea turtles don't "swim" they float on under water currents. they have orifices that act as propulsion systems on the backs of their flippers. the laws of aerodynamics apply in the water as well as above it, so their shells aid them in attaining maximum speed. the dept of the navy has picked up sea turtles propelling themselves as fast as 220mph.

== "There are seven different species of sea turtles and the most known sea turtle is the green sea turtle. It can swim up to 20 miles per hour or 9 m/s."They also have little dicks!
